What is the cost to renew a driver's license in Massachusetts?

I got carded by a bouncer at the bar the other day, and he told me that my driver’s license is about to expire. I haven’t renewed my license since I moved to Massachusetts. What’s the cost to renew a driver’s license?

Rarely will you find a bouncer that’s nice enough to tell you about your driver’s license expiration date, so count yourself lucky! The cost to renew a driver’s license in
Massachusetts
is $50, regardless of whether you get a REAL ID or not.
A REAL ID is a new driver’s license form that also functions as a federally accepted form of identification. Beginning in May 2023, you will need a REAL ID to board domestic flights, so getting one is probably the smarter move.
To renew your license, you have three options:
  1. Go to
    www.mass.gov/RMV
    . Click on online service center and follow the prompts. You should receive your new driver’s license in seven to 10 days.
  2. Make an appointment at a
    AAA
    office or go to
    www.aaa.com/appointments
    .
  3. Schedule an appointment at your nearest Massachusetts RMV location. Go to
    www.mass.gov/RMV
    to print out your application summary. Bring this summary along with proof of U.S. residency, Massachusetts residency, and Social Security number.
