By Mail

If you are in the military and stationed outside Arizona, submit a notarized driver license application, a photocopy of the front and back of your current driver license and military ID card, and a check or money order for $10.00. Send it to the address below:

Motor Vehicle Division P.O. Box 2100 MD 510 Phoenix, AZ 85001

If you are on active duty in the military: Notify MVD about your active military status. Once MVD knows you’re on active duty, you will not be required to renew your license until six months after you have been discharged from the military. This is an automatic extension, you don’t have to specially apply for it.

If you’ll be out of state on your expiration date: You may mail an extension letter to the MVD, requesting an extension. You must include a payment of $5 for the extension. You may pay this fee by credit card, cash, check, traveler’s check, or money order (payable to Motor Vehicle Division).
