Can I downgrade my driver's license on 12123?

You can downgrade your driver's license on 12123 by submitting the required information according to the prompts. Alternatively, you can also handle this at the local traffic management office. Please pay attention to the following specific matters: Offline Appointment Some regions have an appointment function. If you cannot make an appointment in advance, you may face difficulties in processing the service. Also, note that appointments must be scheduled on weekdays, as national statutory holidays like New Year's Day are not available for such services. Bring Complete Documentation: Relevant vehicle documents, your ID card, passport-sized photos, driver's license, and other necessary materials to avoid delays due to incomplete documentation.
I've been driving for over a decade and often use the 12123 App for license renewal and traffic violation handling, which is quite convenient. But for license downgrades, like from C1 to C2 or voluntary downgrades due to age, I didn't see a direct option in the App. It's probably too complex for online processing since it requires in-person identity verification and medical reports. Last week I tried checking the service items, but it mainly showed options for license renewal and replacement—no downgrade option. If you really want to downgrade, it's best to search the App first. If that doesn't work, just go to the DMV with your ID and original license to get it done, saving yourself unnecessary hassle. Don't delay this—if something happens on the road, it could cause big trouble.
