Getting money back on your taxes is always a great feeling! With your tax return, you shouldn’t have any problem renewing your driver’s license either. The cost to renew a driver’s license in Michigan
ranges from $18 to $45. As of May 3, 2023, all U.S. citizens must have a REAL ID to fly domestically. If you rarely travel by plane, you can save a little money by opting for the standard Michigan driver’s license. If you want to fly after the federally mandated date, get the REAL ID-compliant Michigan driver’s license, also known as a Michigan enhanced driver’s license.
The prices for these driver’s licenses are as follows:
Standard license renewal: $18
Standard license renewal for an expired license: $25
Enhanced license renewal: $38
Enhanced license renewal for an expired license: $45
Michigan also makes license renewal easy, offering four options for residents:
At a Secretary of State self-service station ($3.95 surcharge)
At your nearest Secretary of State office (DMV)
If you want to switch from a standard driver’s license to an Enhanced Driver’s license, you must apply in person.
If you’re eligible to apply by mail, you should receive a renewal notice in the mail. All you need to do is fill out the included renewal application, make a check out to the State of Michigan for $18 or $38, and mail it to:
Michigan Department of State
Internal Services Section
7064 Crowner Drive
Lansing, MI 48980
