| Driver's License
Information:
Every Alabama resident who
operates any motor vehicle must have a valid driver's license.
All applicants who have not been licensed in Alabama or whose
Alabama license has been expired for over three years must pass the
required driver's examination given by the Alabama
Department of Public Safety. Application should be made in
your county of residence. Study guides for the auto, motorcycle,
commercial vehicle and boat
driver's examination are available and can be picked up in
person at any Calhoun County License Commissioner's Office or
Alabama Department of
Public Safety location. (Study guides will not be mailed.) Information
involving boating licenses can also be obtained from the Alabama
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources - Marine Police.
The Calhoun County License Commissioner's Office issues the
driver's license after the Alabama
Department of Public Safety certifies that you know the
rules of the road or waterways through testing. The
driver's license manual may be viewed at http://www.dps.state.al.us/DLINDEX1.html.
See information below for testing locations.
Your driver's license must be
renewed every four years. You may renew your license within 60
days of the expiration date on your current license. Renewals,
lost licenses or changes to existing licenses may be processed
at any Calhoun County License Commissioner's Office.

wish to discontinue driving and surrender their driver's
