Can I Apply for Driver's License Downgrade Online?

[SanMax]

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 apply remotely. After submitting the required documents, wait for the approval, and the new driver's license will be delivered by mail. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must have their highest-level driving qualifications 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 highest-level driving qualification. After completing the downgrade and license replacement, drivers who wish to reapply for the revoked driving qualification must have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current and the most recent scoring cycle before application, and no involvement in a traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility. To apply for the downgrade and license replacement after revocation of the highest-level driving qualification: After passing the relevant exams, receive the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" (for Class A and B licenses, the downgrade information will be noted on the notice). After the suspension period ends, bring your ID card and the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" to the traffic police department where the license was suspended to retrieve your driver's license. Bring the following documents to the vehicle management office at the license issuance location to complete the downgrade and license replacement (if there are no pending traffic violations, the process will be completed within one working day): Original "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Original and copy of the driver's ID. Original driver's license. Three recent half-length, bareheaded, front-facing white-background color ID photos (submit the digital photo collection receipt if required by local regulations).
