Unless you are at risk of passing out and your doctor has reported that to the DMV, you shouldn't have any trouble renewing a regular drivers license. We cannot have a commercial license with an icd.

hi i have had to renew my licence 2 previous occasions,but i have to send it back to the dvla for a 3 time as my icd fired last week.it should be simple as sending it back then reaplying again in 6 months providing your icd does'nt fire within the six month,i think it would be harder if you did black out at anytime

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
