Mississippi Local DMV Office FAQs

1. How do I renew my Mississippi driver’s license?

Mississippi offers several options for license renewal. If you meet the eligibility requirements—such as having a valid license with no major changes to your personal information—you may be able to renew online through the Mississippi Department of Public Safety website. Otherwise, you’ll need to visit a local DPS office with your current license, along with acceptable proof of identity and residency. In-person renewals typically include a vision screening as part of the process.

2. What documents are required to register a vehicle in Mississippi?

To register your vehicle in Mississippi, you must provide proof of ownership, which is usually your vehicle title or a bill of sale if you’re transferring from another state, along with a completed vehicle registration application. You’ll also need to present proof of valid Mississippi auto insurance and documentation verifying your residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. In some cases, additional requirements like a VIN verification or emissions inspection may be necessary depending on the vehicle’s history.

3. How do I transfer my out‑of‑state driver’s license to Mississippi?

New residents are required to convert their out‑of‑state driver’s license to a Mississippi driver’s license within a specified period—generally within 30 to 60 days of establishing residency. To complete the transfer, visit your local Mississippi DPS office with your current license, acceptable proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate), your Social Security documentation, and two documents verifying your residency in Mississippi. A vision test is usually required, and if your out‑of‑state license is expired or nearly expired, you may also need to pass a written exam.
