How often must a Maryland driver's license be renewed?

In Maryland, a driver's license must be renewed every 5 to 8 years. This renewal period is designed to ensure that the state can keep driver records up to date and ensures that drivers remain qualified to operate a vehicle safely.

Every 5 years is the renewal requirement for certain types of licenses, while for others, it could extend up to 8 years depending on specific circumstances and the age of the driver. This systematic renewal process helps in maintaining road safety and tracking any changes in a driver’s status.

Other options do not align with Maryland's established regulations for driver's license renewal, as renewing every 2 to 4 years would be more frequent than necessary, and annual or 10-year renewals do not follow the state's guidelines for license validity.
