Can you renew your driver's license at a AAA office in your state?
 

I was told I didn't know what I was talking about on another thread in regards to renewing a driver's license at a AAA office. I am able to do just that at my local AAA office in Connecticut and now I'm curious if others can do the same in their states.

Can you and where are you from? You don't have to be a AAA member to do this in CT.

Thanks, Emily

Californians can renew their registration at the AAA office but I think you are stuck with DMV offices if you need to retest or lose your license.

Not in Texas . .

We can renew licenses and registrations at selected AAA offices in Connecticut.

Not in Oklahoma

Yes, at certain AAA locations in Massachusetts. The procedure is the same as visiting the RMV--you can do the eye test, get your photo taken and then they give you a paper/temporary license and then the new "real" license comes in the mail in 5-10 days.

Not in CA unless the rules have changed that I had not heard about. AAA can do most DMV transactions but not driving tests/liceense

My Oregon CDL will expire on my birthday next year. At least a month before my birthday the Oregon DMV will send a renewal form which I will have to take to the local DMV which is closer to me than a AAA office. I pay for my vehicle renewal registrations online and they mail me the new registrations.
I did use my AAA card to get a discount on Amtrak travel. Now that I'm 62 I get 15% off. I got the Lifetime Senior Pass for $10 to get into all the NP's.

In CT, the photo is taken and a valid and genuine license is given at that time. Takes about half an hour. Love the convenience. The DMV lines in my area are hours long.

Did you check CA? I googled and got a 'Yes, you can renew your license at these southern California AAA offices', but was re-routed back to the CT AAA site when I clicked on that link. If you're in California, would you google 'California driver's license renewal at AAA' and see if you see the link I did? Thanks!

Yes in Florida. The appointment was easy to make, waiting was minimal. Such a better experience than waiting in line at the Drivers License Bureau.

Nevada has "DMV in a Box"!

So far the DMV in CT, Florida, Nevada, and Massachusetts have an arrangement with AAA to renew licenses and perhaps registrations.

What about the rest of the States? Thanks, everyone!

tomfuller: did you check online re. license renewal at AAA in your state?

Not in NY State either.

Looks like it's not anywhere near universal, but it never occurred to me that this was an option anywhere. In those states where it's allowed, does that mean that the DMV sets up a satellite office in an AAA office? Since it's a government issued ID, I would think that government employees would have to handle all the paperwork, not AAA or any other business or organization's employees.

Actually, the answer for Florida is "sometimes".

The Pembroke Pines AAA office has a DHSMV service center "co-located" at it. This is the case in some other cities as well (e.g. Tampa), but in many (maybe most) cities it is not the case (including Jacksonville, Orlando, and Miami).

Not in NY. You can do it by mail or online - as long as you send in a signed certificate from your eye MD that your vision has been tested. Otherwise it's the DMV - a wait of 2 hours at "License Express" versus 3 or more at the general offices.

My Oregon/Idaho AAA Guidebook says that the local offices can provide an International Driving Permit which is a translation of your valid Drivers License into 11 different languages.
Lots of different services but none that require DMV approval.

I googled what you asked and got the Automobile Club of Southern California site, which had a chart of DMV services they provide in CA, NV and UT, and drivers license renewal is only available in NV.
