military is stationed or assigned to a base or other location outside the
boundaries of the Commonwealth, the resident, or the resident's spouse or

by mail. If the resident, or his or her spouse or dependents, was issued an
"under 21" operator's license, upon the date of the license holder's twenty-first
birthday, the "under 21" operator's license may be renewed for an operator's
license that no longer contains the outdated reference to being "under 21."
A resident of the Commonwealth renewing an operator's license by mail under
subsection (1) of this section may have a personal designee apply to the circuit
clerk on behalf of the resident to renew the resident's operator's license. An
operator's license being renewed by mail under subsection (1) of this section
shall be issued a license without a photograph if there is no photo on file. If
there is no photo on file, the license shall show in the space provided for the
photograph the legend "valid without photo and signature."

If a resident of the Commonwealth has been serving in the United
States military stationed or assigned to a base or other location
outside the boundaries of the Commonwealth and has allowed his or
her operator's license to expire, he or she shall, within ninety (90)
days of returning to the Commonwealth, be permitted to renew his
or her license without having to take a written test or road test.

Commonwealth if the person can provide proof of his or her out-of-state
service and dates of assignment.

who does not renew his or her license within ninety (90) days of returning
to the Commonwealth shall be required to comply with the provisions of
this chapter governing renewal of a license that has expired.
(d) If a resident of the Commonwealth has been issued an "under 21" or
"under 21 CDL" operator's license and the person is unable to renew the
license on the date of his or her twenty-first birthday, the "under 21" or
"under 21 CDL" operator's license shall be valid for ninety (90) days
beyond the date of the person's twenty-first birthday.
(a) Any person who served in the active Armed Forces of the United States,

Reserve Component who completed the members term of service and
