A 10-year driver's license can be replaced with a lifetime one, but certain conditions must be met. The specific conditions and annual review are as follows: To obtain a lifetime valid driver's license, the following conditions must be met: After obtaining the driver's license for the first time, the validity period is 6 years. Only if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any of the 6 consecutive scoring cycles, the new license obtained upon renewal after the expiration of the validity period will be upgraded from a 6-year validity period to a 10-year validity period. After obtaining the 10-year validity driver's license, only if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any of the 10 consecutive scoring cycles, the new license obtained upon renewal after the expiration of the validity period will be upgraded from a 10-year validity period to a lifetime valid driver's license. Driver's license annual review: No annual review is required during the 6-year validity period of the driver's license. The driver should go to the local traffic police branch to renew the license within 90 days before the expiration date; drivers holding Class A, B, N, or P licenses, although no longer required to undergo annual review during the validity period, should go to the Vehicle Management Section of the local traffic police branch within 15 days of the original annual review deadline to obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," fill it out as required, attach a photo, undergo a medical examination at the designated hospital, and then submit the form back to the Vehicle Management Section for computer confirmation; drivers aged 60 and above, regardless of the type of license held, must go to the Vehicle Management Section of the local traffic police branch during the original annual review period each year to obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," undergo a medical examination at the designated hospital, and then submit the form back to the Vehicle Management Section for computer confirmation.
