Keep every instruction on your notice.
Knowledge, vision, road testing, documents, and renewal methods are separate instructions. Combine them with your expiration date to get the next steps for your Idaho license.
What your notice asks you to do
| Instruction | Next step |
|---|---|
| Renew online or by mail | Use this method only when the licensing agency authorizes it and your current eligibility permits it. |
| Visit an office | Arrange the visit and bring the application, credential, and documents the notice requests. |
| Take a knowledge / written test | Study the official Idaho manual and check the agency’s exam instructions. |
| Complete vision screening | Follow the eye-test or accepted examination-report instructions. Vision screening alone does not call for written-test practice. |
| Take a road / driving test | Check permit, education, vehicle, and appointment requirements. Confirm whether an existing knowledge-test result satisfies the prerequisite. |
| Complete a course or eLearning | Confirm the specific agency-approved option and your eligibility. Course alternatives from other states do not automatically apply. |
| Provide documents | Use the document list for your credential and follow the deadline on the notice. |
| Medical / driver-safety review | Follow the individualized reporting and examination instructions directly with the agency. |
