Driving License Renewal: A valid driving license is mandatory to drive in the country. Driving without a license can result in heavy fines and legal action. In most states, driver’s licenses are valid for 20 years or until a person reaches the age of 50. If your license is about to expire or has already expired, you can easily renew it online from the comfort of your home.
What is the time limit for license renewal?
A license can be renewed before its validity expires, and even after expiry, a grace period of one year is available. If the license is not renewed within this period, the old license becomes invalid forever, and a new license will be required to drive again.
