Governor Lee’s Executive Order No. 15, issued March 19, 2020 to facilitate the containment of COVID-19, suspends two sets of statutes pertaining to county clerks.

VEHICLE REGISTRATION EXPIRATIONS EXTENDED:
The provisions of T.C.A. § 55-4-104(a)-(d) are suspended to delay the expiration of all valid vehicle registrations set to expire between March 12, 2020 and May 18, 2020.  These registrations will instead expire on June 15, 2020.  They will return to their original renewal schedules in subsequent years.

DRIVER LICENSE EXPIRATIONS EXTENDED:
The provisions of T.C.A. §§ 55-50-336 and -337 are suspended to delay the expiration of valid Class A, B, C, D, P, and M driver licenses and Class ID photo identification licenses set to expire between March 12, 2020 and May 18, 2020.  These licenses will expire 6 months from the date they are currently set to expire.

All Driver Licenses, Learner Permits, Commercial Driver Licenses, Photo Identification Licenses (ID), and Handgun Carry Permits that would expire between March 12, 2020, and May 19, 2020, will be extended for six months from the original expiration date. The Department will issue a letter of extension to the individuals affected. Affected individuals will be required to keep the letter with them during the extension period.
