you can now make an appointment for a renewal, it takes about 1 hour and theres nothing to do but sign the form,pay the $60.00 fee with a money order, provide the requested I.D. info and get your picture taken
"Alternatively, you can submit your renewal form at one of the Division of Licensing’s eight regional offices. You simply have to call for an appointment by contacting the office that is most convenient for you. Bring your unsigned form with you. We will perform the notary service and take your picture at no additional charge."
I got my form for a renewal in the mail about 60 days prior to the license lapse date, I called to get a second form for the wife and they told me about the appointment option, I made an appointment for about 3 days later and it took less than an hour to get the new license
