We have to renew car tag every year and why do we need to renew driver license too? I think department of motor vehicle should only for people who need to take driver license exams, people who got problems with their driver license such as probation and whatnot, and people from other states who want to change their driver licenses.
Do you agree? I really disagree with renewing driver license every 5 or 10 years because it is unnecessary, money wasting and a hassle. Imagine you have to pay about $20/5 years since you are 17 years old and times the age you are going to live, e.g. let's say you are going to live 'till you're 77 yrs old, so 77-17= 60years, then 60/5=12, 12*$20= $240. That if the fee is the same in the future, maybe they increase the fee in the future. Also, the people who works at DMV are very rude and unprofessional. And, why do they need your social security? Can you trust those people with your social security?

NO, the people who work at the DMV in my city are NOT law enforcement. They are just government employees. Law enforcement always wear their uniforms and these people who renew driver license are just government employees. Yes, I heard from the news that some government employees caught stealing private information of the customers.

Renewing tags are NOT $4. Where have you been? The Cave? It depends on your type of car and the age of the car. At least it cost me about $200

I agree with Chillsister that Department of Motor Vehicle should concentrate on those people who "cannot drive" like old people, people from other state who just move in and want to change their driver license, people who have traffic tickets and got problem with their license, people with disabillity and people who want to take driver license exams. The people who don't have a problem at all should not have to renew their driver license. By the way, government have lots of money from other taxes, tag, tickets, etc and also government will save money by limiting the number of employees because if people have to renew their license, government have to hire more employees.

If we all stopped getting our drivers licenses renewed, it'd be a whole lot easier to steal someones identity. What would you use as a photo id? The same drivers license you had when you were 17.. but at 75 years old?? Insanity. If anything, we need mandatory retesting every 25 years so people don't forget how to drive. Were the roads in your area the same in 1982? Will they be the same in 2032? Of course not. So why do we allow people who are 80 years old, who got their license in 1944, to drive cars today without a retest at some point? Were the roads and cars and rules the same in 1944 as now?
As far as renewing the registration and plates on your vehicle, without them you wouldn't have the inspection system in your state. Which means you'd often drive behind cars without doors, cars with sharp edges everywhere, cars with bald tires in the snow, etc. That $4 a year sounds a little better now, doesn't it? :-)

The drivers license renewal helps protect the safe drivers from Granny Dee who is just A LITTLE TOO OLD to be on the street. You know the kind--they'd hit a curb trying to turn to the right. You may not see it now because you're only 17--the more you drive, the more you'll see the importance of drivers license renewal. The things the DMV need, including your SS card, are a matter of protocol. These people are part of law enforcement. Not all people are "straight and honest" but, most know if they get caught doing anything unlawful with your SS card it's a felony. No law enforcement job and time in the penitentiary for the felony.

I think you are right, it is certainly a waste of our time, and it is an exercise in dealing with often rude and frequently inept public servants. I do think people who have had probation and those age 65 up should have to retake the driving test. Some of those old ones are scary as they have lost their ability to react quickly making everyone else on the road have to react quickly to get out of their way.
Once they chip our licenses it will be easy to spot someone who is driving illegally.

it relatively is like quite a few different government employer. They carry mutually taxes each and every time they could and waste it besides they could. being waiting to resume your motive force's license each and every 10 years is new. It was once you had to resume each and every 4 years no remember how stable a motive force you have been. I had to resume mine final 365 days and that i did it for 10 yrs. all and sundry there replaced into very friendly, so i assume it relies upon on the place you reside.

Come to Arizona--our licenses don't expire until we're 65.
However, that thing with tags, and emissions is a hassle, and runs into some money.
