Can a driver's license be renewed in a different location when it expires?
1 Answers
A driver's license that has not yet expired can be renewed in a different location. However, if the license has expired and needs to be renewed, or if it is lost and needs to be reissued, the renewal or reissuance must be processed at the place where the license was originally issued. Users can, however, apply for a transfer procedure in a different location, eliminating the need to return to the original issuing location or to authorize someone else to handle the process. Simply submit the required documents in the different location to complete the procedure. Time regulations: If the license has been expired for less than a year, it can be renewed normally. If it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be renewed by passing the subject one exam. If it has been expired for more than three years, the license will become invalid and cannot be renewed. Renewal deadline: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a renewal at the vehicle management office of the original issuing location within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license. When applying, they must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Required documents for renewal: Bring two copies of ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without hats, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free physical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office).
