When does a standard driver's license expire?

A standard driver's license typically expires on the first birthday after the eighth anniversary of the application's issue. This means that if someone applied for their license on a specific date, eight years later, they would celebrate their eighth anniversary of the license. The expiration occurs on the first birthday that follows this eight-year period.

This system helps to standardize the renewal process and ensures that licenses are periodically updated. By linking the expiration to a specific timeline, it provides clarity and consistency for drivers regarding when they need to renew their licenses. The reason other options might not fit is that they propose different methods of calculating expiration that do not align with the established system used for standard driver's licenses.
