When applying for or renewing your driver’s license online, you may be prompted to take online learning or testing.
- The online knowledge test (“MVProctor”) is offered in 35 languages and is available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The test needs a webcam and cannot be done on a smartphone or tablet. You will verify your identity before starting and will be monitored during the test.
- The interactive eLearning course has seven parts with quizzes after each section. eLearning can be done on a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone and is available at any time. This is only available in English and takes about 45 minutes.
- If you are preparing to take a knowledge test for your DL, practice with these sample tests.
Updating your information before you renew:

If you already submitted a change of address request, you can check your status online.
I need to change my name or gender identity
If you are not the person named on the renewal notice, you will not be eligible to renew.
If you would like to change your name or gender identity, you need to do so before renewing online. Name or gender identity changes must be processed at your local DMV office.
Other changes to your driver’s license information, such as height and weight, require a new application.
I need a reduced, no-fee, or senior ID card
