Gov. Doug Ducey has issued an executive order to defer requirement to renew a standard driver license as the state continues to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“Arizona continues to focus on proactive steps to protect the health of our communities and keep our state moving in the right direction,” Ducey said in a press release from his office. "Today’s commonsense Executive Order extends the deadline for drivers to renew their licenses by one year, helping reduce the number of in-person MVD visits during the upcoming months and protecting our most vulnerable.”
The executive order will defer license extirpation for those that expire between March 1 and Thursday, Dec. 31 by a year. This will keep the number of people visiting the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division lower to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
"Under this Executive Order, all Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board certified law enforcement officers as well as state government agencies, county and municipal governments and election officials will accept Arizona driver license cards with expiration dates between March 1 and Dec. 31 as valid identification for any purposes for which unexpired driver license cards would otherwise be accepted," the governor's office said in the press release.
