A 2-minute lesson from the Wyoming course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
When you can renew depends on your age: drivers over 21 get a longer window than drivers under 21. You can renew by mail, but not every time, and letting your license expire can mean retesting.
You're 20 and your license expires in 80 days. You may renew now, because under-21 drivers can renew within 90 days of expiration. But for an adult-type license, wait until you're within 30 days of your 21st birthday.
Check your understanding
