Renew or Replace Your Alabama Driver License or ID

You can renew or replace your Alabama Driver License or ID online through ALEA or in person at a Baldwin County Probate Licensing Office.

⭐ STAR ID Requirements

As of May 7, 2025, a STAR ID or another acceptable form of ID (such as a valid U.S. passport) will be required to:

  • ✈️ Board domestic flights
  • 🏛️ Access certain federal facilities
Before You Get a STAR ID

If your Alabama driver license is coming up for renewal, you may want to consider upgrading to a STAR ID.

🕒 Renewal Timing
  • Your license can be renewed up to 170 days early.
  • Adding a STAR ID does not change your renewal date.
💵 Avoid Extra Fees
  • Getting a STAR ID more than 170 days before renewal means paying the STAR ID fee now and the renewal fee when your license expires.
  • To avoid paying two fees, consider waiting until you are closer to your renewal date—unless you need a STAR ID sooner.
