Can I Renew My Driver's License Directly on 12123?
2 Answers
The 12123 App can handle license renewal. After logging into the "Traffic Management 12123" App, go to [More] - [Service Center] - [Renew Expired Driver's License] to enter the business process for renewing an expired driver's license. Here are the relevant details: Notes for Online License Renewal: Before applying for an expired license renewal, please visit a designated hospital for a medical examination. The hospital must upload the medical information before you can apply for this service. Please carefully read the usage instructions to understand the relevant requirements for renewing an expired license online. Once a user submits an expired license renewal application online, the application cannot be canceled. If the user refuses to sign for the license or fails to pick it up at the designated location within one month, the system will automatically add the user to the internet blacklist, prohibiting them from handling online motor vehicle and driver's license-related services. New "Tolerance" Measures for License Renewal: For those temporarily unable to provide a physical condition certificate, the traffic management department will first process the driver's license renewal, allowing the driver to submit the physical condition certificate after the pandemic ends. Drivers applying for an expired license renewal can request a "tolerance" renewal through the Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Platform or the 12123 mobile App and fill in the relevant information. Those unable to provide a physical condition certificate may temporarily skip submitting it, as the traffic management department will review and issue the license in the background, with the postal service delivering it to the applicant's home. Note that if the driver's license has been marked with 12 points, overdue for review, seized, detained, suspended, revoked, locked, revoked but recoverable, or canceled, it does not qualify for the "tolerance" renewal of an expired license.
Last year, I renewed my driver's license directly through the 12123 Traffic Management APP, which was super convenient. After downloading the app and registering an account, I bound my ID information, selected the renewal type in the services section, uploaded the required medical report and photo, paid a fee of just over ten yuan, and submitted the application. The approval was quick, completed in just two or three days, and the new license was delivered straight to my door. The whole process saved me from queuing at the vehicle management office, making it especially safer during the pandemic. However, it's important to remember that this method is only suitable for renewing an expired license or replacing a lost one. If your license has violations or you're applying for the first time, you'll still need to visit in person for an inspection. Overall, the APP represents a modernized way of handling affairs, perfect for time-saving office workers like me.
