Can I Renew My Driver's License in a Different Location via 12123?

[SanAngela]

You can renew your driver's license in a different location via 12123, but you must apply for renewal within 90 days before the license expires. If it has already expired, you must go to the original issuing location to renew it. If you wish to renew your license in a different location, you need to undergo a medical examination at a designated hospital. Once you pass, the hospital will upload your medical information to the traffic management department, after which you can apply for license renewal via 12123. The renewal process is as follows: Open the 12123 app, register, and log in; under the driver's license services section, select "Renew Expired Driver's License," and carefully read the service instructions and notices; confirm your personal information, then choose the delivery method. If you opt for mail delivery, you will need to provide a mailing address; after submission, simply wait for the license to be delivered to your door, with a small processing fee and mailing fee required. Additionally, you can also renew your license at a local vehicle management office in a different location. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," when a driver's license expires, the holder can go to the original issuing office or any other vehicle management office outside the original location to complete the renewal process. However, renewing in a different location will automatically transfer the license to the local jurisdiction, meaning the renewal city will become the new issuing location of the license. The renewal process in a different location is the same as renewing locally. The specific steps are as follows: Bring your original ID card and a copy; the original and duplicate of your driver's license; a recent 1-inch white-background color photo without a hat; and a "Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a qualified medical institution (such as a secondary hospital, township health center, or community hospital) to the vehicle management office to apply for renewal. Obtain and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form"; Submit the form and required materials to the staff for review; Once approved, pay the processing fee at the designated window; Wait on-site for about 10 minutes to receive your new driver's license.
