Can driving license inspection be processed in a different location?

Currently, driving license annual inspection can be processed in a different location. Applicants can directly undergo inspection and obtain the inspection qualification mark in provinces other than the motor vehicle registration location without going through the entrusted inspection procedures. You only need to bring the owner's ID card, driving license, vehicle insurance documents, and original/copy of the vehicle and vessel tax to the local vehicle management office for processing. The materials required for vehicle inspection in a different location are as follows: no traffic violation information or traffic accidents; provide the original vehicle driving license; the third copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy (duplicate) (to be kept by the traffic management department); the vehicle appearance should be kept clean, with clear license plate numbers and no dirt; lights should be installed properly and function normally; exhaust emissions should meet standards, and brakes should be effective.

I've just researched this, and it's true that driver's license renewal and inspection can be processed in a different location. The current traffic management policies are quite user-friendly. Services like license renewal upon expiration or annual reviews don't require you to go back to your hometown's vehicle management office. I specifically checked that as long as you bring your ID card, original driver's license, medical examination certificate, and photos, you can handle it at any vehicle management office nationwide. Remember to book an appointment in advance on the Traffic Management 12123 APP to avoid queuing. A friend who works in Hangzhou but is originally from Xi'an successfully processed it locally last year, saving the hassle of traveling back and forth. However, be sure to handle any traffic violations in advance, as this will be checked during the out-of-town processing. The specific process may vary slightly from place to place, so it's recommended to ask directly at the local vehicle management office.

I personally experienced that driver's license renewal can be completely handled in another city. Just two months ago, I completed it in Shanghai when my hometown license was about to expire—simply went to the Pudong Vehicle Management Office. The process is straightforward: first, get a medical examination certificate from a designated hospital, bring your ID card and original driver's license, and fill out an application form on-site. The fee is only twenty yuan. The current cross-province processing policy is really convenient, saving the trouble of traveling back to your hometown. However, note that if the license has been expired for over a year, it won't work—you'll have to retake the written test. It's advisable to handle it three months in advance to allow time for any material issues to be resolved.

Don't worry, driver's license renewal has long been available for processing in different locations. The nationwide vehicle management system is interconnected, and the procedure is basically the same as local renewal. The key materials required are just four items: medical examination report, one-inch white background photo, original ID card, and original driver's license. First, get a medical exam at the hospital for 30 yuan, then go to the vehicle management office to take a number and complete the process - it takes about an hour. My colleague renewed his Shandong license in Shenzhen this way. But note that the medical exam must be done at the processing location; exams from your hometown won't be accepted. Also, any outstanding traffic violations must be cleared first. If you're still unsure, calling the local vehicle management office to confirm would be more reliable.
