Where to renew your Frisco driver license

You can renew your Texas driver license at the Frisco Driver License Office, located at 6101 Frisco Square Boulevard, Frisco, TX 75034. This is a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) office that handles renewals for Frisco residents and surrounding areas. You can also renew by mail or online, depending on your situation — not all renewals may have access to for those routes.

The Frisco office is open Monday through Friday. Hours vary by day, so check the DPS website or call ahead before you go. Bring your current license, proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement), and proof of Social Security number (Social Security card, W-2, or 1099 form). If your address has changed, bring two documents showing your new address.

Wait times at the Frisco office can run 30 minutes to over an hour during peak times. Early morning visits and mid-week appointments tend to move faster. You do not need an appointment for a standard renewal, but the DPS offers an online appointment system if you want to reserve a time slot.

Renewing by mail from Frisco

Texas allows mail renewal if you meet specific conditions. Your license must not be suspended or revoked, you cannot have had a name change since your last renewal, and you must have been a Texas resident for at least two years. You also cannot be renewing a commercial driver license (CDL) or a license with hazmat endorsement by mail.

To renew by mail, complete Form DL-44 (process for Texas Driver License) or use the renewal notice that came with your current license if the DPS sent one. Include your current license, a check or money order for the renewal fee (currently $33 for a four-year license or $66 for an eight-year license), and proof of residency. Mail the packet to the address listed on the form or renewal notice.

Mail renewal takes 4 to 6 weeks from the date the DPS receives your packet. There is no way to track the status of a mail renewal once you send it. If your license expires before the new one arrives, you can print a temporary license from the DPS website to carry while you wait.

Renewing online through the DPS website

The Texas DPS website allows online renewal if your current license is not expired by more than two years, you do not need a new photo, and you meet other standard requirements. You cannot renew online if your license is suspended, if you have had a name change, or if you are renewing a CDL.

To renew online, visit the Texas DPS website and select the online renewal option. You will need your current license number, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number. The fee is charged to a credit or debit card. Your new license is mailed to the address on file and arrives within 7 to 10 business days.

Online renewal is the fastest option if you are not changing your photo or address. If you need a new photo or have moved, you must renew in person at the Frisco office or by mail with updated documents.

What happens if your Frisco license expires

Driving with an expired license in Texas is a traffic violation. You can be stopped and cited, and the fine ranges from $100 to $200. If your license has been expired for more than two years, you cannot renew by mail or online — you must renew in person at the Frisco Driver License Office.

If your license expired recently and you have not yet renewed, you can still drive to the Frisco office to renew. Bring the same documents you would for a standard renewal. The office will process your renewal and issue a temporary license on the spot, valid for 45 days while your permanent license is mailed to you.

If you are unsure whether your license is still valid, check the expiration date printed on the front. Texas licenses are valid for four or eight years depending on when you renewed last. You can also call the Frisco Driver License Office to confirm your license status.

Fees and payment methods at the Frisco office

The renewal fee depends on how long you want your new license to be valid. A four-year license costs $33, and an eight-year license costs $66. These are the standard fees as of the most recent update, but fees can change — confirm the current amount when you visit or call ahead.

At the Frisco office, you can pay with cash, check, debit card, or credit card. If you renew by mail, you must include a check or money order — the DPS does not accept credit cards by mail. Online renewal requires a credit or debit card.

The DPS does not refund renewal fees if you change your mind after paying. If you renew in person and then decide you do not want the renewal, you must contact the DPS office directly to discuss your options.

Bringing documents to the Frisco office

Your current Texas driver license is required. If you do not have it (lost, stolen, or damaged), bring a state ID card or passport instead. You also need proof of Social Security number — an original Social Security card, W-2 form, 1099 form, or other official document showing your full Social Security number.

Proof of residency is mandatory. Acceptable documents include a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, property tax bill, or bank statement showing your current Frisco address. The document must be dated within the last 60 days. If you have moved recently, bring two documents showing your new address.

If your name has changed since your last license (through marriage, divorce, or legal name change), bring a certified copy of the document proving the change — marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. The DPS will not process a name change during a standard renewal; you must explore for a new license instead, which requires an in-person visit and a new photo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my Frisco driver license online if I moved to a new address?

No. Online renewal only works if your address has not changed. If you moved, you must renew in person at the Frisco office or by mail with two documents showing your new address. In-person renewal is faster if you need the license soon.

What if I lost my current license before renewing?

Bring a state ID card, passport, or other government-issued photo ID instead of your driver license. You will still need proof of Social Security number and proof of residency. The Frisco office will process your renewal and issue a new license with a new number.

How long does a renewed license stay valid in Texas?

You choose when you renew: four years for $33 or eight years for $66. The expiration date is printed on the front of your new license. You can renew again anytime within 12 months before it expires.

Can I get a temporary license at the Frisco office while I wait for my new one?

Yes. If you renew in person, the office prints a temporary license on the spot, valid for 45 days. Your permanent license arrives by mail within 7 to 10 business days. If you renew by mail or online, no temporary license is issued.

What if the Frisco office is closed when I need to renew?

You can visit another DPS office in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, such as the Arlington or Irving office. All DPS offices process renewals the same way and accept the same documents. You can also renew by mail or online if you meet the requirements, which do not depend on location.
