Can a Physical Examination Form for License Renewal Be Used After Six Months?

[McAdalynn]

Replacing a driver's license requires a physical examination form that is valid for 90 days. The physical examination for driver's license renewal should be conducted by a medical institution at or above the county level or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level, and a certificate of physical condition should be issued. For those applying to drive a disabled-adapted vehicle, a certificate of physical condition issued by a medical institution must be submitted. The validity period of the physical examination report for driver's license renewal is detailed as follows: 1. Introduction 1: According to the new traffic regulations, motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their current driver's license. 2. Introduction 2: When applying, the applicant must fill out an application form and submit the motor vehicle driver's identity proof, the driver's license, and a certificate of physical condition issued by a medical institution at or above the county level or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level. 3. Introduction 3: The vehicle management office usually designates specific hospitals for physical examinations. Some driver's license processing centers have doctors stationed from 'medical institutions at or above the county level' who can conduct the physical examination on-site and fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Driver Physical Condition Certificate.'

I encountered this issue when renewing my driver's license last time - my medical examination form had expired for two months, and the DMV said it couldn't be used. The staff explained that medical data typically has a six-month validity period because indicators like vision and blood pressure can change at any time. Reports older than six months are basically invalid unless there are special local regulations. Like me that time, I had no choice but to go back to the hospital, spending half a day queuing for a new examination. My advice is not to take the risk - first call your local DMV to confirm. If it's not acceptable, go for a supplementary medical checkup on weekdays when there are fewer people, saving yourself a wasted trip and unnecessary delays.
