 ITD: Driver, vehicle fees to increase
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Idaho Transportation Department says fees for more than a dozen vehicle and driver's license services are poised to increase next year.

The agency says many of the fees have not increased in more than a decade.

Starting Jan. 1, the cost of a standard Idaho driver's license will go up to $15 to $55, up from about $12 to $45. The fee for motor vehicle and driver's license records will increase to $7, up from $4.

State lawmakers during the 2009 Idaho Legislature approved the changes, which are expected to generate about $13.1 million for state highways and to modernize computer systems at the state Division of Motor Vehicles.
