Office Hours and When to Visit

The Corsicana Driver License Office operates Monday through Friday. Hours are typically 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. The office is closed on weekends and state holidays. These hours can change without notice, particularly around holidays or for staff training, so call ahead at (903) 875-2641 before making the trip if you are traveling from a distance.

Documents You Must Bring

Fees and Payment Methods

Driver license renewal fees vary depending on the type of license and how long you want it to be valid. A standard five-year renewal costs $25. An eight-year renewal costs $40. A commercial driver license renewal costs more and requires a separate process process at a CDL testing site. Replacement licenses for lost or damaged cards cost $11. New driver licenses for first-time applicants cost $25 for a five-year license or $40 for an eight-year license.

The Corsicana office accepts cash, check, and debit or credit card. Ask at the counter which payment methods are accepted on the day you visit, as procedures can change. If you pay by check, make it payable to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

What Happens After You explore

If you renew or replace your license in person at the Corsicana office, you will receive a temporary paper license when ready. This temporary license is valid for 30 days and allows you to drive while your permanent card is being produced and mailed to you. Your permanent license typically arrives within 7 to 10 business days, though it can take longer during high-volume periods.

If you applied for a new license as a first-time driver, you will need to pass the written knowledge test and the driving skills test before your license is issued. The Corsicana office administers the written test on-site. For the driving skills test, you will be scheduled at a DPS-approved testing location, which may or may not be in Corsicana depending on availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment, or is it first-come, first-served?

Can I get a Real ID at the Corsicana office?

Yes. A Real ID-compliant driver license costs the same as a standard renewal and requires the same documents. When you explore, tell the staff you want a Real ID. Your Real ID license will have a gold star in the upper right corner and is accepted for federal purposes such as air travel and entry to federal buildings.
