What is the cost to renew a driver's license in New Mexico?
I was taking a flight from Albuquerque to Dallas to visit a friend when the TSA agent told me that my license was about to expire. I read something about how you need a certain type of driver’s license for domestic flights, so I want to make sure I get the right driver’s license when I renew. I’m also not sure if the state charges extra for this license. How much does it cost to renew a driver’s license in New Mexico?

driver’s license—but the fee is the same whether you’re getting a standard license or REAL ID license. - $18 for a four-year license renewal
- $34 for an eight-year license renewal
Ordinarily, you could renew your license online at the MyMVD Online website. Since you’re upgrading to a REAL ID-compliant license, you will have to apply in person.
Make sure that you bring the following documents when applying for a REAL ID:
- Twoproofs of New Mexico residency, such as a tax return, mortgage/lease agreement, or utility bill from the last 90 days
- One proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or passport
- Your Social Security card
