If your driver license or your learner permit is expired for two years or more, you cannot renew your driver license. You must apply for an original license. You must pass the vision test, the written test, and the road test, and complete a pre-licensing course.
To obtain a Driver License or a Non-Driver ID Card , you must appear at a Motor Vehicle office with proof of name and date of birth. Complete information on these identity requirements can be found at http://dmv.ny.gov/id-card/prove-identity-and-age and these requirements can change. An eye test is required, which can be done at the Motor Vehicle office. There is a fee to obtain a Driver License or a Non-Driver ID.
