Arkansas seniors aged 70 and older can renew their driver’s licenses every four or eight years, with an option for shorter terms at a reduced fee. All drivers, including seniors, must renew in person at a Revenue Office and pass a vision test every other renewal.
Renewal Process
Visit a local Arkansas DFA Revenue Office with proof of identity, residency, and Social Security number; no online or mail renewals for seniors. Licenses cost $40 for four years or $80 for eight years for those 70+.
Additional Rules
No age-based written or road tests unless a health condition raises safety concerns, prompting further evaluation. Seniors should self-assess fitness to drive and report impairments.
