National ID card renewal in Guam
Renewing a Guam identification card requires applicants to visit a local Department of Revenue and Taxation office to verify identity and residency. The process typically involves submitting a formal application, providing supporting documentation, and capturing a new photograph.
Most individuals begin the renewal process at least 30 to 60 days before the card's expiration date to account for potential administrative processing times and the availability of in-person appointments at the licensing office.
