Can a C1 driver's license be renewed 100 days in advance?
2 Answers
C1 driver's license cannot be renewed 100 days in advance, and C1 licenses do not require annual review. The following is a related introduction to driver's license renewal: 1. First renewal after 6 years of validity: If there is no full-point record during the first 6-year validity period, you can renew for a 10-year validity period driver's license, and then wait until the 10-year validity period expires to renew again. 2. Renewal of a 10-year validity period driver's license: If there is no full-point record during the 10-year validity period, you can renew for a long-term valid license. 3. If there are no full-point records in any scoring cycle, the license can be used until the age of 60: After 60 years old, an annual inspection is required, and a medical examination certificate must be submitted. 4. This applies to holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, and large truck driver's licenses.
I just inquired about this at the DMV. Indeed, you cannot renew your C1 driver's license 100 days in advance. Generally, regulations stipulate that renewal applications can only be submitted within 90 days prior to expiration due to system time constraints. If you go too early, the staff might inform you it's not yet time, resulting in a wasted trip. I recommend checking the expiry date on your license and planning to act about three months in advance. This way, you can avoid peak periods and long queues. Don't forget to bring your ID card, photos, and medical examination report—these are all mandatory. Handling it early helps avoid overdue penalties, which could lead to fines or affect insurance claims if caught driving with an expired license. Keeping your documents valid ensures peace of mind on the road, and double-checking local DMV policies is always a good idea.
