Rule 31-1-6.2 - Receiving Expired Driver Licenses

1. A person will no longer be required to turn in their expired Mississippi license. After verifying the old license, the examiner may return the license to the applicant, if the license is being renewed. You may either punch a hole in the expiration date with a hole puncher or cut the top right corner of the expired license and give them back.

2. If the applicant is obtaining a duplicate license with a name change or an address change, the old license will be turned in to be destroyed. When changing from an operator's license to a commercial license, the old license will be turned in also.
