Here you will find information about license renewals, out-of-state transfers, state IDs, new license/permit information and forms, information and forms about changing your name & address, instructions in the event that your ID or license was lost or damaged, licenses for commercial (CDL) vehicles, chauffeurs and motorcycles, photo waivers, and license reinstatement if your license is currently suspended.

Please be advised that the Division of Motor Vehicles requires you to present your original, unlaminated Social Security card for all NEW license and ID card transactions. We will no longer require the presentation of a Social Security card for renewals of RI operator or CDL licenses or RI Identification Cards. In addition, anyone who was denied renewal based on a lack of SS card since 8/1/07 may apply for renewal even if the ID or license has expired.

If you do not have your Social Security card, please contact the Social Security Administration or go to their website at www.ssa.gov
