Did you know that as long as a new photo is not required, you can renew your enhanced license or ID online at Michigan.gov/SOS, by mail, or at a self-service station? Find answers to frequently asked questions MDOS receives at Michigan.gov/SOSFaqs
A graphic that shows a question and answer from frequently asked questions the Michigan Department of State receives. The question asks, how do I renew my enhanced license or ID? The answer says, like standard licenses and IDs, most enhanced licenses and IDs can be renewed online, by mail, or at a self-service station if a new photo isn't required. Most residents only need to renew their license or ID at a Secretary of State's office every 12 years to take a new photo.
