How do you renew a driver’s license in Massachusetts?

What’s the process like to renew my driver’s license in Massachusetts? I don’t look like the picture on my license anymore, so I’m curious whether I should put makeup on or not when I go in.

To renew your driver’s license in
Massachusetts
, you’ll need to go online to Mass.Gov/RMV, then select Online Service Center. From there, you can just follow the prompts to verify your identity and renew your license. You’ll receive your license in the mail.
If you don’t look like your license photo anymore, however, you should visit your local RMV service center to have a new photo taken. You may have difficulty using your license to verify your identity if you don’t match the picture on your ID, which can be inconvenient at best.
