Driver’s License
New Alabama residents must obtain a driver’s license within 30 days of entering the state. Driver’s licenses are available from the driver’s license examiner’s office listed below. If you have a valid out-of-state driver’s license, you do not have to take the written or road test, but you are required to take an eye exam. The cost for the out-of-state transfer fee is $28.00 cash (NOTE: These requirements are for a regular Class D license only.) If you do not have a valid out-of-state license, you are required to take a written exam and road test as well as the eye exam. The cost of a new license/renewal for Alabama state residents is $23.00.
You must bring with you:
• Current Driver’s License
• Social Security Card (name should match that of the Driver’s License)
