Driver's license cannot be renewed during the extension period. Validity period of driver's license: Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in each scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license shall be renewed with a ten-year validity period; if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in each scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license shall be renewed with a long-term validity period. Penalties for expired driver's license: Driving a motor vehicle is not allowed during the expired period, otherwise it may be treated as driving without a license. If the driver's license has been expired for less than one year, the driver can renew it at any time, but if driving on the road, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. If the driver's license has been expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will cancel it according to the law. If the expiration period is less than three years, the driver must pass the re-examination of Subject 1 to restore the driving qualification. Driving on the road during this period will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be completely canceled, and the driver must retake the driver's license test to drive again. Otherwise, driving on the road will be treated as driving without a license, with a fine of 2,000 yuan and administrative detention for up to 15 days.
