Suppose the first due date is in C2
I will assume you want to know expired licences and those due within 10 days
Here are a couple or ways:

1) In D2 enter =IF(C2-TODAY()<10, "Licence due","")
Copy this down the column; quickest way is to double click the fill handle
(small solid square in lower right corner of active call)

OR
2) Select all dates in C column
Use Format | Conditional Formatting
In the dialog use
Formula Is; =C2-TODAY()<10; and click Format button; open Pattern tab and
click a colour. Now the cell with a due date less than 10 days from today
will show with a colour. For more about conditional formatting see:

Thanks for your help. Okay I made a small spread sheet. What is the next
step to have it tell me which driver license/DOD card is due. I have use
the
Microsoft Excel for some time now. I have made many different spread
sheets.
I just haven't learned how to make one to tell me how to do this kind of
calculation yet. Thanks, Rock

In A1 type the text "Last Name" - no quotes
In B1 enter the text "First Name"
In C1 enter: "DOD"
In D1 "Licence"

Now start to enter all you data, it does not matter what order you
process
the drivers.
In column A: enter driver's last name
In B; enter drivers first name(s)
In C; the DOD date in whatever format you prefer such as 10/12/07
In D: the license renewal date

Select everything and use Data | Sort; sort by Last Name and First Name

When you have all this come back with detailed questions of what you want
to
do.
