Can Driver's License Renewal Be Processed in Another Location?
2 Answers
Driver's license renewal can be processed in another location. You can renew it through the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expiration Renewal Service -- Fill in the information. The new license is usually delivered by mail. Other methods for renewal: Renewal at the Vehicle Management Office: The driver should bring the required materials to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Required materials: Two copies of ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without hats, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). Visit the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at the postal business hall for renewal processing. The entire process, from registration to medical examination to the production of the new license, takes only half an hour. Currently, only a few cities have this service, such as Hangzhou.
I just renewed my driver's license, and it was done in a different location. The policy is indeed very convenient now. In the past, you had to go back to your hometown, which wasted a lot of time, but now you can renew it at the local vehicle management office. The process is also simple: just bring your original ID card, driver's license, and a few photos, then queue up at the local vehicle management office to fill out a form. When I renewed mine in another location, the whole process took only half an hour. Additionally, you can apply online through the Traffic Management 12123 APP by uploading photos and documents, which is very convenient. When renewing, make sure to do it within 90 days before your license expires to avoid having to retake the test if it expires. This kind of policy is a blessing for people who often work away from home, reducing a lot of hassle and avoiding the risk of driving with an expired license.
