Can I Apply for Driver's License Downgrade Online?
1 Answers
You can apply online. The driver's license downgrade can be processed through official public accounts. Vehicle owners only need to select the traffic police public account of their location to handle it remotely. After submitting the required documents, wait for the approval. The new driver's license will be delivered by mail. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must have their highest permissible driving class revoked by the vehicle management office under the following circumstances, and they will be notified to complete the downgrade and license replacement within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle. Failing to undergo inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles. If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the revocation of the permissible driving class. After completing the downgrade and license replacement, if the driver applies to reinstate the revoked driving class, they must have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current and the most recent scoring cycle and no involvement in a fatal traffic accident with equal or greater responsibility. Procedure for downgrading the highest permissible driving class: After passing the relevant examination, obtain the "Notification of Illegal Full-Score Examination Information for Motor Vehicle Drivers" (for Class A and B licenses, the downgrade information will be noted on the notification). After the suspension period ends, bring your ID card and the notification to the traffic police department where the license was suspended to retrieve your driver's license. Submit the following documents to the issuing vehicle management office to complete the downgrade and license replacement (processed within one working day if there are no pending traffic violations): Original "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Original and copy of the driver's identity proof. Original driver's license. Three recent front-facing, bareheaded, white-background color ID photos (submit the digital photo collection receipt if required locally).
