How To Renew Your MA CSL Online

Information about renewing a Mass CSL

 

To renew your MA CSL online you can follow the instructions below as you go through the process.  However I definitely recommend you read through the instructions below before you get started so you will know what you need to have ready to complete the process.
 

Before You Login:

Get your MA CSL Completion certificates ready

Before you begin the online MA CSL renewal process make sure you have electronic copies of your completion certificates available on the computer you are using because you will need to upload the certificates as part of the MA CSL online renewal process.

  • Scanned documents must not be larger than 3 MB in size.
  • Only documents with the following file type extensions will be processed: .doc .docx .pdf .jpg .gif .png
  • Note: Documents without a file type extension will not be processed.

Your new license will need a photograph.

If you already possess a MA Drivers License you can grant permission for use of that photo during the renewal process. If you do not have a MA Drivers License or do not grant permission to use that photo you will be required to upload an ID Photo that meets US Passport 2" x 2" photo specifications.

Have your method of payment available before you begin the process.

Acceptable payments methods are Visa, MasterCard, or a Funds Transfer from your bank account. There is a 2.49% processing fee if you pay by credit/debit card. There is a $0.40 processing fee if payment is made by Funds Transfer.
