You can renew your driver's license in advance. Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Point Rules" states: A motor vehicle driver shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. If the driver's license expires, the traffic police will impose a fine upon discovery, but no penalty points will be deducted. There is a deadline for license renewal. If the license has been expired for less than a year, you can follow the normal renewal process. If it has been expired for one to three years, the license will be canceled, but you can regain it by passing the subject one test. If it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be canceled. Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Point Rules": A motor vehicle driver shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license.
