Where the Grand Prairie Driver's License Office Is Located

The Grand Prairie Driver's License office is at 2707 West Interstate 20, Grand Prairie, TX 75052. It sits just off I-20 on the west side of town, near the intersection with Carrier Parkway. If you're coming from central Grand Prairie, head west on I-20 and take the Carrier Parkway exit.

Parking is available in the lot in front of the building. The office shares the location with other Texas Department of Public Safety services, so you'll see signage for DPS when you arrive. There is no separate entrance for driver's license services — you enter through the main DPS building entrance.

Office Hours and When to Go

The Grand Prairie office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. It is closed on weekends and state holidays. The office does not stay open late on any weekday, so plan to arrive during regular business hours.

Mornings before 10 a.m. and late afternoons after 4 p.m. tend to be less crowded than midday. If you can go on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning, you'll typically wait less than 30 minutes. Mondays and Fridays are busier. The office does not take appointments — service is first-come, first-served.

During state holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, and Independence Day, the office is closed. Check the Texas DPS website or call ahead if your visit falls near a holiday.

What Documents to Bring

What you need depends on whether you're renewing, replacing, or getting a license for the first time. For any transaction, bring your current ID (expired is fine) and proof of residency — a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement with your current address dated within the last 30 days.

If you're renewing a license that has not expired more than two years ago, you may be able to renew by mail or online instead of visiting the office. If you're renewing an expired license, replacing a lost or stolen license, or getting your first Texas license, you must visit in person. Bring your Social Security card or a document showing your number, such as a W-2 or tax return.

If you're under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present. Bring their ID and proof of your relationship — a birth certificate works. If you're changing your name, bring the court order, marriage certificate, or divorce decree that documents the change.

What to Expect When You Arrive

When you walk in, you'll see a ticket machine near the entrance. Take a number for the service you need — driver's license renewal, replacement, or new license. The display board shows which window is serving which number. Wait in the seating area until your number is called.

At the window, the clerk will review your documents, take your photo, and collect your fee. Driver's license renewal costs $33 for a four-year license or $66 for an eight-year license. A replacement for a lost or stolen license costs $11. A new license costs $33 for four years or $66 for eight years. Payment is cash, check, or card.

The entire process usually takes 15 to 45 minutes depending on how busy the office is and whether your documents are in order. You'll receive your new license on the spot or within a few days if the office needs to mail it.

If You Cannot Visit in Person

If your license is not expired or expired less than two years ago, you can renew online at the Texas DPS website without visiting the office. Online renewal takes about 10 minutes and costs $33 for four years or $66 for eight years. Your new license will arrive by mail in 7 to 10 business days.

You cannot replace a lost, stolen, or damaged license online — you must visit the office in person. You also cannot get your first Texas license online. If you live far from Grand Prairie, check whether there is a closer DPS office in your area that offers the same services.

Parking, Accessibility, and Nearby Services

The parking lot in front of the building is free and has accessible spaces near the entrance for people with disabilities. The building itself has a ramp and automatic doors. If you need information, staff at the entrance can direct you to the right window.

There are no food or drink services inside the office, but nearby restaurants and a gas station are within a few blocks on Interstate 20. Plan to bring water if you expect a long wait, especially on busy days.
