How to do business with Jefferson County during The World Games 2022 while keeping your cool

While the Courthouse *will* remain open for business, here are some other ways you can get things done:

1. Be a happy resident—do your business online

Here’s a list of things you can do online and save yourself the trip:

• Renew your car tag
• Renew your boat registration
• Renew your driver’s license
• Pay Traffic Tickets
• Order vital records like a copy of your birth certificate, marriage, or divorce paperwork
• Apply for a sewer, building or zoning permit 
• Pay your sewer bill 
• Pay your property tax or search tax information

2. Use satellite locations to avoid downtown 

Whether you want to renew your car tag, fill out a change of address form or get a driver’s license, you can visit one of these four locations:

• Bessemer Courthouse: 1801 3^rd Avenue, Bessemer, AL 35020 
• Center Point: 2651 Center Point Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35215 
• Hoover: 1901 Hoover Court, Birmingham, AL 35226 
• Northern Satellite: 651 Main Street, Gardendale, AL 35071 

Note: You can only get a learner’s permit at a Trooper Post. Also, if you are moving to Birmingham, you need to go to the Trooper Post to apply for an Alabama Driver License: 908 Bankhead Hwy W, Birmingham AL 35201.

STAR IDs are only available at ALEA Driver License examining offices.  

3. If you have to come downtown, be prepared

Take care of your business now and avoid the July 2-17 window when the restrictions will be in place. 

Take a free shuttle + walk to the courthouse. Show paperwork that you have business with the County to get through the barricades. 

If you need to do business with Jefferson County, you can—you just need to plan ahead.
