Driver Licenses

Persons who have never had an Alabama Driver License or ID card must apply at the Drivers License Examiner's Office.

Alexander City Office 395 Lee Street Alexander City, AL

Persons applying for a first driver license or for a Alabama identification card must provide two forms of identification. Contact the Examiner for a list of acceptable forms of identification. Persons applying for a driver license will be administered a written examination, an eye exam, and a road test.

Persons moving into Alabama from another State may surrender the out-of-State license and take an eye examination. Persons wishing to obtain a identification card (including those with suspended Alabama driver licenses) must first apply at the Examiners Office. An administrative fee of $5.00 is required for each application.

To complete the application process, applicants will receive an issuance card that must be taken to one of the local Probate Offices. The fee for a license or identification is $36.25. A temporary license or ID card, with a picture, will be issued at the Probate Office. The original will be mailed at a later date from the Alabama Department of Public Safety. Persons not receiving their licenses within 60 days should contact the Department of Public Safety at 334-242-4400.

Persons with suspended driver license must apply to the Department of Public Safety for re-instatement. Upon payment of re-instatement fees, the applicant may obtain a duplicate driver license at any Probate Office in Alabama.

Note: Two forms of identification are required.
