So now it’s two months before your license expires. Hey, congratulations! You’ve made it all this time without having your license revoked or driving off the edge of a cliff! You must not be a terrible driver!

You get a notice from the SOS informing you what you need to do so that you can keep on truckin’. Or Priusin’, whatever the case may be. Simply follow the instructions provided; you may be able to renew by mail, or you may have to come in to the SOS and take another vision or driving test. We know which one you’re pulling for. Hey, maybe it’ll be Scantron.

Either way, it is a pretty easy process to get renewed, so you shouldn’t have to miss any of your softball games. Good news for you, bad news for the rest of your softball team.

If for some reason you don’t receive a renewal notice before your license expires, it’s still up to you to take care of it. (Gosh - this responsibility thing again!) Simply go online or call the SOS, and they’ll take care of you. Just like your Mommy used to do.

PS Are you in the military and serving on active duty outside of Michigan? Or are you simply going to be out of the state for a little while? Congratulations! In addition to the honor and pride of serving your country, you might also be eligible to renew your license by mail! You’re stoked, right?
