Arizona Driver License question

How long before an Arizona Driver License expire? I had a borrower whose ID expired in 2024. When I questioned it he showed me his California ID that appeared correct, yet he is a truck driver that lives in Calif but only had a California ID.

Crazy, eh!?

If the AZ DL is super old and the photo looks like a guy from "That 70's Show", I just ask for some additional ID to make sure I've got the right person. Never had a problem with that.

My grandmother from AZ told me that the exception to issuing DL's in AZ for long periods of time are the elderly. She's 92 and no way do we want her driving around Tucson! I've heard there are some that are good for 40 years, not sure if that's true.

My son got his AZ DL last year, after he moved there. It expires when he's 65! He was 25 at the time last year.

In Arizona the initial license is good to age 65 and then must be renewed!
The photo is to be updated every 12 years!

Talk about illegal! As a commercial truck driver, he is not supposed to have 2 licenses! The Dept of Transportation instituted guide lines a few years back stating that if yu get a license in any one state, you have to surrender any licenses issued by other states. Prior to that, truckers especially would have licenses issued by multiple states. When they were stopped for a tracffic violation, they would pull out the license for the particular state they were in. I've heard of drivers being stopped and when asked for their license they would pull a whole string of them out and ask "Which one do you want officer?"

Thanks to all!!!! You read it correct Kelly and Al. John, although you did not understand my question your comments put me at rest because it explains why he did not have a CDL only Cal ID. Thanks

Thanks for coming to my rescue so early in the morning my fellow notaries! by the way I did go on line before I asked the question to see what I could google about Arizona DL law and it did mention something about age 60 and 65. 2024 just sound crazy. But I guess if someone was falsifying the info.....who would put 2004!

Yes, the Arizona DL's are good for a very long time. The info you were supplied is correct in regard to the age 65. My drivers license is good until I am that age. Of course I am not going to reveal what year that is!!

I have never understood why they do this because by the time I am 65 my picture will look nothing like me. Makes it tough for a notary to identify who you are when your picture is 25 some odd years old on your identification card!!

Have a great day all!!

Ooooooh here's one...

The Arizona CDL is not good until 65, it is only good for 5 years after the date of issue. They changed the law a few years ago but many drivers did not surrender their old licenses. If it is an Arizona CDL, and it is after five years from the date of issue, technically it is expired and we Arizonians are supposed to know and check. FUN!

Arizona has it's own way of doing things. The last time I called the Secretary of State for an ID question, I was told to 'Ask the NNA'. I thought that was pretty scary, funny and horrifying at the same time.

AngelinaAz, Re: Ooooooh here's one...

Angelina,

Unless I'm overlooking something, the Arizona Dept. of Transportataion website states, that a license will expire on a person's 65th birthday, unless someone is already 65. Once 65 years of age (or older), the license will then expire every five years.

The Arizona Driver's License Manual also explains about Arizona's "extended" license.

Pamela...

The only thing you are overlooking is that I was talking about the Arizona CDL (commercial driver's license). There was some debate in the thread about the fact that it was a CDL and I just happened to have that little factoid because of a recent signing where this became an issue... (very picky lender who wouldn't take the 'unexpired' ID because it was 'expired').

Not to criticize my fair state, but the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing. It is scary sometimes... as if we are supposed to just 'know' that information. That was my point... I don't know if I am being clear or not... but I'm tired.
