MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced Wednesday that they are extending renewal deadlines for drivers aged 60-years-old and older due to COVID-19 risks.
Drivers who are 60 and older and have a license scheduled to expire in January, February or March of 2022, will now have until March 31 to visit a DMV to renew with no late fee, the DMV said.
For those under the age of 65, are U.S.citizens with an unrestricted driver license, have not had a change in medical conditions, and who do not need an original REAL ID, can renew their driver license online by clicking here.

"Now, online driver license renewal is available through a pilot program which began in May 2020 which allows 16 years to pass between visits."
