i’m 76 and my license expired in 2023. i haven’t had tickets or accidents and don’t drive much. renewing feels kinda confusing, especially for older folks. has anyone else been through this recently? any advice for doing it online?
i helped my dad renew his license online last year. it wasn’t too bad! do you know if your state has an online renewal option?

i think so, but i’m not 100% sure where to start. the dmv website is a bit overwhelming for me.
@Kim
totally get that. try searching for ‘nebraska dmv license renewal.’ they should have a link for online renewals. you’ll probably need your license number and a credit card.
dmv stuff can be so confusing, especially when they keep changing things. maybe just go in person if it’s easier?

yeah, i might have to do that if i can’t figure out the online part. are the dmv lines usually long for this?
@Kim
depends on the day. mornings mid-week are usually less crowded. take a book or something just in case!
if you want to do it online, make sure you have your info ready: license number, social security, and payment details. it’s not too hard once you get started!

thanks! i’ll gather everything and give it a shot. does it ask a lot of tricky questions?
@Kim
not really, mostly just verifying your info. oh, and make sure to double-check your address—it’ll mail your new license there.
dmv websites can be a pain. you could try calling them for help navigating the site if it gets too confusing.

that’s a good idea! i might give them a call if i get stuck. thanks for the tip!
i think you can even renew it by mail if online doesn’t work for you. maybe check your expired license notice?

oh, i didn’t even think about mail. i’ll take a look at my old notices. appreciate the idea!
