Drivers in the Military

Driver's License

Alabama residents in the military, or their dependents, can apply for driver's license renewal by mail. Applications are available online.

When mailing the application, you must submit a copy of your military photo ID and your military orders. The $23 license fee is payable by money order only. No personal checks are accepted.

Include your full name, birth date, Social Security number, and out-of-state mailing address. As long as your picture and signature are on file, a new license will be mailed to your out-of-state address. The license will list your Alabama address.

Send applications, supporting documents, and license fee to:

• Driver License Division

• P.O. Box 1471

• Montgomery, AL 36102-1471

Vehicle Titles and Registration

Military personnel are exempt from having their vehicles physically inspected when applying for an Alabama title. A Mail Order Application for Certificate of Title can be downloaded and printed online. Once complete, mail it to your county's tag office with the appropriate fees and taxes.

The cost to register a private passenger vehicle is $23, plus a $1.25 issuance fee. You'll need to call the office to determine what taxes are due. When the registration and titling process is complete, your new tag will be mailed to you.
