I am 77 year's old and my driver's license is due for renewal by January. I heard that I could get a one-year extension because of COVID-19. If that is not the case, I need to make an appointment. Please let me know.

Last I heard the governor was asking for a 60 day grace period, not a year. But that was a couple months ago and it could have changed since then.

I think it depends how big your town is in north California you could go inside DMV I would recommend to go to small town were there is a DMV
