Connecticut State DMV Center for Teen Safe Driving

DMV has extended expiration dates for driver's licenses, ID cards and learner's permits. If you are sick, we ask in the public interest that you take advantage of the extension and please not visit a DMV facility. This will help safeguard your neighbors, families and our staff. We also ask that no children or elderly visit a DMV facility unless absolutely necessary. See all DMV advisories here.
