Drivers License


The Davidson County Clerk’s Downtown Office is offering driver’s license renewals along with duplications and information changes of Tennessee driver’s licenses and IDs. We only offer this service at our main office at 700 2nd Ave South, Suite 101, Nashville, TN 37210 and is not available at our satellite locations. We are limited in assisting with all types of transactions however we are very expedient in the services that we do offer. We can usually finish your total transaction within a few minutes (very short waiting lines).  We are limited to D- & M- class licenses; we cannot process Commercial Drivers Licenses (CDLs), and you may be charged a $4.00 convenience fee for using our office. We accept cash, local bank checks, debit & credit cards. You may likely need to bring supporting documentation, like certified U.S. birth certificate, marriage license (for 1st name change), and/or U.S. Passport. A Social Security card/number does not prove U.S. Citizenship.

For questions, including what information you need will need to bring, please call 615-862-6223.

We can assist with name changes due to first marriages.  You will be required to get a new photo so that your DL photo currently looks like you; we cannot use your old photo.

PHOTO IDENTIFICATION FOR VOTING

Beginning January 1, 2012, all voters must present a photo ID when voting in Tennessee.  As a convenience for those that were of age 60 and older and chose to not have a photo on their TN DL, you may obtain a free photo at the Davidson County Clerk’s main office.  If you are renewing or if there is information change, that would be considered a for-charge duplicate.  For those who have not had a TN photo ID card, those can be obtained at a TN-state DL station.  For more information please review the following:
