If you are renewing online, you cannot have an address change as part of the renewal. Paperwork for extension renewals involves address verification. Your in-person renewal will likely involve a photo, thumb print, vision test, and the potential for a written test. Most DMV offices in California have an appointment system for renewals, taking tests, and so forth. If renewing in person, it’s worth calling or going online and making an appointment to save wait times. Major renewals happen every 15 years or when circumstances such as court orders, traffic violations, etc. If you’ve received renewal paperwork in the mail, it will indicate the status of your renewal and whether you are required to renew in person at a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. Major renewals require more substantial documentation in order to meet federal requirements for REAL ID. Extension renewals, which are those that happen in between major renewals, require only a few documents and verification. The items needed for renewal will depend on your status of renewal.
