Can I renew my driver’s license online in California?

I need to renew my license soon, but I hate driving through LA traffic just to sit at the DMV. Is there any way I can just renew my California driver’s license online?

California
does allow you to
renew your driver’s license
online
However, you must fulfill the following requirements to be eligible for
online renewal
:
  • You have no changes to your personal information or address.
  • You are not applying for a REAL ID compliant license for the first time.
  • You are not renewing a commercial driver’s license.
There will be a $39 renewal fee along with a 2.1% processing fee if you use a debit or credit card—you can also pay directly from your bank account at no additional cost.
After renewal, you should receive your new license in the mail within two to four weeks.
