The CNMI Department of Public Safety\u2019s Bureau of Motor Vehicle noticed an error during the printing process of some recently issued driver\u2019s licenses. A newly printed driver\u2019s license typically expires within the term of three years; however, an inadvertent error had allowed some driver\u2019s licenses to print with a one-year expiration date.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The department would like to apologize for the inconvenience and assure license holders that a new license will be printed at no extra charge, with the corrected three-year expiration date.<\/p>\n
This error applies both to contract workers and CNMI citizens. If you notice an error on your license, visit the BMV during operational hours for a re-print.<\/p>\n
When re-applying for a driver\u2019s license or for a re-print of a driver\u2019s license, we ask that you provide all your supporting documents when doing so.<\/p>\n
When applying for a\u00a0REAL-ID compliant\u00a0driver\u2019s license supporting documents include:<\/p>\n
1. A valid U.S. Passport
\n2. Original Social Security Card
\n3. Two documents with a proof of address (which can be obtained from a car registration, and insurance card or statement, utility bill, cellular or phone bill,\u00a0lease agreement, bank statement, etc.)<\/p>\n
When applying for a regular driver\u2019s license that is\u00a0not REAL ID compliant, supporting documents include:<\/p>\n
1. Passport (U.S. or foreign passport)
\n2. Document with current immigration status
\n3. Your expired driver\u2019s license<\/p>\n
BMV\u2019s hours of operation are Monday \u2013 Friday:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a08am – 11am: document drop-off\u00a0for vehicle and\/or watercraft registration renewal
\n\u2022\u00a08am – 11am: walk-in for driver\u2019s license renewal
\n\u2022\u00a08am – 11am: updated document(s) pick-up<\/p>\n
BMV will be accepting incoming documents and will be processing these documents for next-day pick-up.<\/p>\n
At this time BMV is still processing documents of those who have expired driver\u2019s licenses and vehicle\/watercraft registrations during the month of March or earlier. Registrations that have expired beginning April 1, 2020, are asked to await the official announcement when BMV will be able to process those registrations and documents.<\/p>\n
To prevent the machines from overheating and to prevent premature machine failure the BMV office will be processing a maximum of 50 driver\u2019s license prints per day.<\/p>\n
