Senior Over 70+ No Longer Need to Take a Test to Renew License

[@azizmerchant2871]

I just wanted to add my two cents. When I received my driver's license renewal notice 2 months prior my birthday when the license was expiring, I followed the instruction as they were in the notice. I created and account and fill out an application and schedule an appointment and pay the renewal fee. Since I used my email address as my user ID, I received and email from DMV with a link to the e-learning course. I took the course, after each module is a small quiz with 3 or 4 question and no failing, if at first the answer is incorrect it will tell to give a correct answer. In this way anyone can complete the course. Now the fun part is that, when you go to the DMV they have your record. So all we have to do is take a vision test and a thump print and take a new picture and done. I hope it helped any senior for the renewal of their driver's license. This video really helped. Thanks for putting this video on KZbin.

Glad it helps, thank you for the thoughtful comments.

Everyone should take the test. It's for our own safety. Come on, people. If you fail the test, you shouldn't drive. SAFETY!!!

[@victoriasansome4049]

I had not had to take a test to renew my license for at least 15 yrs. At 71, I had to take the test, but I took the e-learning test, and it was so easy

[@yefimfalkinstein6161]

I am trying to follow the instructions for e-learning test. I did not know about the test and took first try at the DMV. Can I take another test at home or I need to go do DMV to take another test?

[@richardcarabio998]

Took test and went to DMV , finger print, eye test, photo and receiving license in 2 to 3 weeks. Thanks

[@5150hs]

I'm so thankful to you for this super valuable video!! It popped up randomly on my KZbin and I'm forever grateful that it did. The on-line eLearning was easy to complete. When I got a little lost in one section, I just rewatched your follow along video and got back on tract. One word of caution to others... once I completed the course and got my confirmation number, I took a screen shot with my phone for added proof. Why?? Because when I went to print out the confirmation number, the DMV site went blank. Went to DMV for vision test and the employee said he didn't see a confirmation number in the system. I showed him the screen shot proof. He punched in the number and voila it was there 🙏

[@lualuadmv]

I am happy to hear that, congratulations!

@@lualuadmv You’re welcome. Your video is truly a blessing and I’m trying to tell everyone my age or older to watch, learn, and make their DMV experience so much easier. Thankfully I know how to copy and share your link 😂.

I drive a lot almost everyday. One of the rare people that doesn't tailgate etc.. Have been a licensed California driver since 1967. Haven't had a moving violation since mid '70's. The state shouldn't even bother testing me.

[@lualuadmv]

Agree, E-Learning is hard for the seniors. You can ask your relatives to help.

[@JoeRuiz-p5d]

The DMV advertises no more testing after 70 years old, yet you have to go through all of these steps just to take A TEST AGAIN! Better off just to make an appointment and get it over with. I worked for the DMV for 15 years and they were just as confusing then as they are now 😡⚓️🇺🇸💙

You have to wait for the renewal letter from DMV then you can take E-Learning

I received an email reminder since I opted for paperless notification. Should that qualify me to use the e-learning option? My license expires Oct. 10th.

I did all these steps last week before seeing this video. I had no idea this would get me out of the test! When it was time for the survey, I was quite negative haha. One thing, your documents for the Real ID can be government licenses or vehicle registrations or many other things. I used my driver`s licence and a vehicle registration.

[@lualuadmv]

This video is for ID either Real ID.

I already took the vision Test and paid for the fee at DMV. Now, I saw this clip and I want to take the test under this program. So, can you please tell me what am I going to do ? Please let me know? I am 78 years old. Thanks.

[@lualuadmv]

You have already paid the renewal fee at the DMV office. Please note that you are required to complete the written test 3 times at the DMV. If you do not pass, you can visit www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/ and follow the steps outlined in my video provided there. Best of luck!

[@probinsyano7954]

@@justbecause502 what I did on line was e-learning, you go thru about 7 lessons, after each lesson there is a simple quiz to test your knowledge. It is not graded, it is just some sort of a review if you understood the lesson.

Why new applicants can't ask for test online?

[@lualuadmv]

Now, there is no test to renewal for the senior, you just need to come to DMV office to take the picture and do paperwork.

[@victoriawest9177]

There is another official DMV.CA.GOV test that I know for sure you can take online here on KZbin. It has the official logo, verbage (see example at the beginning of the last sentence}. That is the test you want to do here on KZbin BECAUSE you can either print out your results (pass) or send your results electronically straight to the DMV site. Otherwise, if you physically go to the DMV to take the written test, you must pass the test in only 3 attempts (with possibly one person one either side of you also taking THE test).

Two days ago 5/25 Sat, I successfully enrolled the eLearning course with payment paid and got receipt with Payment Confirmation Number, but still unable get access to the DMV Virtual Test Center to start my learning, had tried clicking on "click here" wordings several times yesterday and today (Sunday) in same DMV email which showed payment confirmation number although DMV email said Virtual Test Center eLearning course available 27/4days week. Seemed eLearning access still not available or activated, is it because of virtual training center only operates on week days, not on Sat/Sun perhaps also Holidays (incl. 5/27?). Found also DL application confirmation code not shown on email. Please advise how could I resolve situations or get access to or have it activated so able to start course learning ASAP.
