What this fee covers

Louisiana OMV publishes a fee schedule for driver license credentials.

The renewal fee on this page reflects the Class E personal driver license renewal costs listed in the OMV fee policy; separate fees apply for endorsements, duplicates, and other transactions.

Standard Class E renewal fee

The OMV fee policy lists a six-year Class E personal driver license renewal with a $20.25 license fee and a $12.00 handling fee.

It also lists a service fee that ranges from $0 to $8.00.

The estimated total for most renewals is $32.25 to $40.25.

Age 70+ renewal fee

For drivers age 70 or older, the fee policy lists a reduced Class E license fee of $6.75 plus the $12.00 handling fee and a $0 to $8.00 service fee.

The estimated total is $18.75 to $26.75.

Delinquent fee after expiration

The OMV fee policy adds a $15.00 delinquent fee if a driver license is expired more than 10 calendar days.

The policy notes the delinquent fee does not apply to applicants age 70 or older or non-permanent residents.

Other renewal fees by license class

The fee policy lists higher renewal fees for chauffeur (Class D) and commercial (Class A, B, or C) licenses.

For example, the Class D six-year renewal lists a $42.75 license fee plus a $12.00 handling fee, and CDL renewals list a $15.00 application fee plus a $61.50 license fee.

Use your license class to confirm the correct amounts and note that Orleans Parish totals are higher for some classes.

Endorsement fees

The fee policy lists a $7.50 fee for each endorsement added to a driver license, except the motorcycle endorsement, which is $12.00.

Endorsements are added on top of the license renewal fees.

When you can renew

OMV renewal guidance says you may renew up to 180 days before expiration or upon expiration.

Renewal invitations are sent about 100 days before the expiration month.

If you do not receive an invitation, you must renew at a local OMV office.

Renewal requirements

The renewal guidance page lists required items such as proper identification, collection of your Social Security number, a vision test, proof of current liability insurance if applicable, proof of Louisiana residency, and completion of any required tests.

Planning checklist for applicants

Use this checklist to align with Louisiana renewal rules and fees:

  1. Confirm your Class E renewal total: $20.25 license fee + $12.00 handling fee + $0-$8.00 service fee.
  2. If you are 70 or older, use the reduced license fee of $6.75.
  3. Renew within 180 days of expiration and budget for the $15 delinquent fee if you are more than 10 days late.
  4. Gather required documents, including proof of identification, residency, and insurance if applicable.
  5. Use the OMV locations portal if you need to renew in person.

Common reasons renewals get delayed

Renewals can be delayed when applicants are outside the 180-day renewal window, miss required documents, or need to complete a vision test or additional exams.

Late renewals can also add the delinquent fee after 10 days.
