ATTENTION MARYLANDERS:

The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration is required by law to send driver’s license renewal notices 60 days before one’s license expires. Reports that the MVA will stop mailing driver’s license renewal notices after January 1, 2012 are false.

Maryland law does, however, require an individual to retest after a license has been expired for 1 year or more, but the tests are the same as for new drivers and geared toward evaluating an applicant’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle on the roads.
