Driving licence renewal in American Samoa

Written from published rules on 27 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV). Rules here vary, so check carefully.

Renewing a driver's licence in American Samoa involves applying in person at the designated government office. Applicants must provide proof of identity and current residency to ensure their driving privileges remain valid.

Your timing

It is generally recommended to begin the renewal process at least 30 days before the expiration date to account for potential administrative processing delays or high volumes at the office.

Start 30 days ahead

Starting early allows for flexibility in scheduling an office visit and obtaining any necessary supporting documentation.
