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 3rd Avenue, Bessemer, AL 35020 
  • Center Point: 2651 Center Point Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35215 
  • Hoover: 1901 Hoover Court, Birmingham, AL 35226

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.
