Feeling some anxiety or nervousness before or during
the driver license renewal process is normal for many
people. The best way for you to minimize these emotions
is to prepare for the renewal process. Be sure to make an
appointment to renew your license at your local DMV
office at www.dmv.ca.gov or call 1-800-777-0133.
Preparation Tips
• Do not wait until your license is about to expire
before starting the renewal process.
• Study the California Driver Handbook (available at
www.dmv.ca.gov or call 1-800-777-0133 to have a
copy mailed to you).
• If possible, make a morning appointment and eat a
nutritious breakfast before coming to DMV.
• Get a good night’s sleep the night before your test.

Your application fee allows you three chances to pass the

multiple choice questions. A passing grade is three errors
or less. When your test is corrected, the correct answer is
identified for any incorrectly answered question(s). The
test may be returned to you.
