PennDOT DL-59 – Junior Driver License Upgrade Form

The DL-59 is the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) application used to change a junior driver’s license to a regular non‑commercial license. Whether you’re turning 18, adding a new class, or simply need an updated ID, the DL-59 streamlines the process.

What Is the DL-59 Form?

This official PennDOT PDF collects personal details, eye color, height, and the new license class you’re requesting. It must be signed and, in some cases, notarized before submission.

How to Complete the DL-59 Online

Instead of downloading, printing, and scanning, use Formize’s built‑in PDF filler:

1. Click the "Fill out this form" button on this page.
2. Wait a few seconds while the Formize PDF Filler app loads.
3. Enter the required information directly into the fillable fields.
4. Review the completed form for accuracy.
5. Save or print the finished PDF and submit it to PennDOT.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving the eye color or height fields blank – PennDOT uses these as fraud‑prevention identifiers.
• Forgetting to sign the form in the designated area.
• Submitting an outdated address; always double‑check your mailing address.
• Not notarizing when a notary seal is required (e.g., certain name changes).

Where to Submit Your Completed Form

Mail the finished DL-59 to the address listed on the form or deliver it in person to any PennDOT Driver License Center. Include the appropriate fee (usually $12‑$17) unless you qualify for a free update.
