New Tennessee driver licenses will be good for 8 years

Friday, December 25, 2015, Vol. 39, No. 52

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee drivers who renew their licenses next year won't have to go through the process again for eight years.

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security says the change from five years includes all classifications of driver licenses and identification licenses, including commercial driver licenses and motorcycle licenses.

The change is the result of legislation proposed this year to improve customer traffic flow at driver services centers and takes effect Monday.
