I have never renewed my license on-line but I am seriously thinking about it this time. I dread going in person and spending my entire day there in the long line that seems to always be there when I go. Have any of you had experience w/getting it renewed on line and is it the same price as if I were to go in and get it done?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks guys, I renewed it on -line and used my 6mth pregnancy picture from 6 yrs ago just to avoid the hassel. Not crazy about the picture but not caring too much, the only ones who ever see it anyways pretty much are the cops who pull me over for speeding & by then I think they are already mad at me that they don't care too much about what a silly picture looks like :)

I renewed online and it was totally worth any extra fee.

I don't know the rules on online renewals except that my 17 yr old was not allowed to renew online. She has to go in every year for a while and be in that LONG wait. It is horrid! You truly do waste an entire day trying to get a DL.

I think it is the same price and it is so easy to do it online.. You end up with the same photo..

When I have gone down there.. I try to get there in the morning as early as possible. Not on a Monday or Friday~

I take the paper, some magazines, a coffee, now I would take my ipad!

I just act like it is my time to read and be quiet.. Our daughter went one time on a friday afternoon.. She was there for 5 hours!!!!!

I wanted so badly to do the "I told you so".. because she waited till the last minute.. but she learned her lesson very well.

I renewed mine online and received the license within the same time frame. Yes, it costs the same. Well, not exactly. When I renewed there was a few dollar fee. (I think it was $2.25...I don't remember.) TOTALLY worth it!!

If you do it on-line the same picture will be used.

How funny!!! Our DMV is NOT an all day thing. I had to renew my license this year and kept trying to do it on-line - my husband tried - to no avail - even customer service was perplexed as to why is wasn't working. I went in and was done within the hour.

Here in VA if you renew on-line - you save a few bucks. Don't know about Tx.

Ah, the advantages of small-town living! Our DMV is open a little late each Thursday - but you learn not to go the first or last Thursday of any month! Have sometimes had to wait a few minutes - and have lucked into walking right up to the counter!

Same price unless there is a small fee for mailing it to you. So easy to do and get it in the mail in about a week. If you don't have to go to the DMV then by all means do it on line!
