License Renewal for Seniors in Nebraska: Key Information

Seniors in Nebraska who are 72 years of age or older must meet certain conditions in order to renew their driver’s licenses. What you should know is as follows:

Renewal Process

1. In-Person Requirement:
   • Seniors must renew their driver s licenses in person at a DMV office. Online and mail renewal options are not available for this age group.
2. Frequency of Renewal:
   • All drivers in Nebraska, including seniors, are required to renew their licenses every five years. However, once a driver reaches 72, they must do so in person annually.
3. Vision Test:
   • During the in-person renewal, seniors must pass a vision test. They can either take the test at the DMV or provide a Statement of Vision from an ophthalmologist or optometrist dated within 90 days of their DMV visit.
4. Additional Testing:
   • The DMV may require additional tests (written or road tests) based on the driver s health conditions or if there have been recent traffic incidents. Family members can also request evaluations if they have safety concerns about the senior driver.

Safety Measures at DMV
