"The DMV does not require an on-the-road driving test for driver's license renewal applicants past any certain age, spokesperson Ronald Ongtoaboc said. This is in the California Vehicle Code, in section 12814 (a), which says, The age of a licensee, by itself, may not constitute evidence of a condition requiring an examination of the driving ability. The DMV can, however, restrict driving privileges for a driver of any age who demonstrates they are unsafe to operate a vehicle."
"California drivers 70 and older are required to renew their license in person at a DMV office every five years. They must pay an application fee, take a vision test, have a new photo taken and provide a thumbprint. Those with poor driving records are also required to take a knowledge test. The renewal notice will indicate if taking the knowledge test is required."
The California DMV does not require an on-the-road driving test for license renewal applicants solely because of age. California Vehicle Code section 12814(a) states the age of a licensee, by itself, may not constitute evidence of a condition requiring an examination of driving ability. The DMV can restrict driving privileges for any driver who demonstrates they are unsafe, and law enforcement or members of the public can request reevaluation of a person's ability to drive safely. Drivers 70 and older must renew in person every five years with fee, vision test, new photo and thumbprint. Drivers with poor records may need a knowledge test. The California Combating Auto Retail Scams Act, effective Oct. 1, 2026, will require clearer dealer advertising and pricing, ban worthless add-ons and prohibit misrepresentations in sale, lease or financing.
