Driver's license renewal can be handled by someone else. Below are the specific details regarding driver's license renewal: Materials required for renewal: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," submit the "Physical Condition Certificate" and a copy, provide proof of identity and a copy, the driver's license, and a one-inch color photo. Materials required for replacement: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," submit proof of identity and a copy, a one-inch color photo. After review and approval by the vehicle management office, the driver's license will be issued. Materials required for cancellation: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," submit a copy of proof of identity and the driver's license, and complete the cancellation procedures. For a revoked driver's license, the vehicle management office will retain the license and enter the "Public Security Traffic Management Revocation Decision."
I recently renewed my driver's license, and a friend asked if it's possible to help someone else handle the process. The answer is yes. Based on my experience, proxy handling is allowed, but there are some specifics to the procedure: you need to prepare a power of attorney with a signature and fingerprint, along with photocopies of both parties' ID cards and photos. The proxy is usually a family member or someone close, who can take these documents to the DMV to complete the process. However, be aware that some cities require the applicant to undergo video verification or a physical exam in person, so calling ahead to check local regulations can save a lot of hassle. I also found that going in person has the advantage of resolving issues on the spot. While proxy handling saves time, incomplete documents might mean multiple trips. Overall, it's a practical solution for busy people, but don’t overlook security concerns.
