Where the Boerne Driver's License Office Is Located

The Texas Department of Public Safety operates a driver's license office in Boerne at 1407 Old San Antonio Road, Boerne, TX 78006. This is the main location where Kendall County residents can renew, replace, or obtain a Texas driver's license or ID card. The office is not inside City Hall or a courthouse — it is a standalone DPS facility.

Boerne's office serves the surrounding area, including Kendall County and parts of nearby counties. If you live outside Kendall County, you may have a closer office in your own county, but you can also use the Boerne location if it is more convenient for you. Texas does not require you to visit the office in your home county.

Hours of Operation and When to Go

The Boerne driver's license office is open Monday through Friday. Hours are typically 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a lunch break from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., though you should confirm the current schedule by calling ahead or checking the DPS website, as hours can change seasonally or due to staffing.

The office does not take appointments. Service is first-come, first-served, and wait times vary. Early morning visits, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, tend to have shorter lines than late afternoon or Fridays. Avoid Mondays and the last hour before closing if you want to minimize wait time.

Key Takeaways

  • The Boerne driver's license office is at 1407 Old San Antonio Road and is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a lunch break from noon to 1:00 p.m.
  • You do not need an appointment; service is first-come, first-served, so arriving early in the week typically means a shorter wait.
  • Bring your current ID, proof of residency, and any documents related to your transaction — renewal, replacement, or new license — before you go.
  • If you cannot visit in person, you can renew by mail or online if your license is not expired more than two years and you meet other renewal conditions.
  • The office handles standard driver's licenses, commercial driver's licenses, ID cards, and license replacements, but some services may require a visit to a larger regional office.

What Documents to Bring

The documents you need depend on whether you are renewing, replacing, or obtaining a license for the first time. For any transaction, bring a current form of ID — a passport, military ID, or existing Texas driver's license. You will also need proof of residency, which can be a recent utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement showing your current address.

If you are renewing a license that is still valid or expired less than two years ago, bring your current license and proof of residency. If you are replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged license, bring your proof of residency and any ID you have. If you are obtaining a license for the first time, bring your Social Security card or a document showing your Social Security number, proof of residency, proof of your legal name (birth certificate or marriage certificate), and proof of your Texas residency for at least 30 days (a utility bill or lease dated at least 30 days before your visit).

Bring originals or certified copies — photocopies are not accepted. If any of your documents are in a language other than English, bring a certified English translation as well.

Renewal, Replacement, and New License Fees

A standard five-year driver's license renewal costs $25. A replacement license for a lost, stolen, or damaged card costs $11. A new license for a first-time applicant also costs $25. These fees are paid at the office when you complete your transaction, and the office accepts cash, check, and card payment.

If you renew online or by mail instead of visiting the office, the fee is the same, but you avoid the trip. Online renewal is available if your license is not expired more than two years, you have no medical conditions that require a vision test, and you have not changed your name or address since your last license was issued. Mail renewal takes longer — typically four to six weeks — but online renewal is processed within days.

Renewing Your License Without Visiting the Office

Texas allows you to renew your driver's license online through the DPS website if you meet the conditions: your license expired no more than two years ago, you have no medical restrictions, and your name and address have not changed. The online renewal process takes about 10 minutes, costs $25, and your new license arrives by mail in three to five business days.

If you do not meet the online requirements, you can renew by mail. read the DL-44 form from the DPS website, include a check or money order for $25, and mail it with a copy of your current license and proof of residency to the address on the form. Mail renewal takes four to six weeks. If your license has been expired more than two years, you must visit the office in person — mail and online renewal are not available.

Getting a Commercial Driver's License in Boerne

The Boerne office issues commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) but does not administer the CDL written test or road test at that location. You can obtain your CDL permit at the Boerne office if you pass the written test elsewhere, but you will need to schedule your road test at a DPS testing facility, which may be in San Antonio or another nearby city. Call the Boerne office to ask which facility handles CDL road tests in your area.

To begin the CDL process, bring your current driver's license, proof of residency, your Social Security card, and any medical certification documents if you drive commercial vehicles that require a medical certificate. The office will issue your CDL permit after you pass the written test, and you then schedule your road test separately.

Contact Information and Verification

Call the Boerne driver's license office at (830) 249-8787 to confirm current hours, ask about wait times, or verify what documents you need for your specific transaction. The DPS website also lists the office location and provides links to online services like renewal and address change forms.

If you need to change your address on your license without renewing it, you can do that online through the DPS website or at the office. An address change does not cost anything and can be done in person or online. If you need to update your name due to marriage, divorce, or legal change, you must visit the office in person and bring the court order or marriage certificate that documents the change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my license if it expired more than two years ago?

No, you cannot renew online or by mail if your license expired more than two years ago. You must visit the Boerne office in person. Bring your expired license, proof of residency, and your Social Security card. The office will issue a new license on the spot.

Do I need to take a new photo if I renew?

If you renew online or by mail, your photo from your current license is used. If you renew in person at the office, a new photo is taken. You cannot choose to keep your old photo if you visit in person.

What if I lost my Social Security card and need a new license?

Bring a document that shows your Social Security number instead — a tax return, W-2, or Social Security statement. You do not need the card itself, just proof of the number. The office will accept these documents as alternatives.

How long does it take to get a license at the Boerne office?

If you are renewing or replacing a license, the office issues it the same day. You leave with your new license in hand. If you are obtaining a license for the first time, the process takes longer — typically 30 to 45 minutes — but you still receive it the same day.

Can I change my address at the Boerne office?

Yes. You can change your address online for free through the DPS website, or you can do it in person at the office. Bring proof of your new address — a utility bill or lease. An address change does not require a new photo or a new license card.
