It is possible to renew your driver's license in advance after applying for a delayed renewal. Below is relevant information about driver's license renewal: 1. Timeframe: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued within 90 days before the expiration of the current license. If the license is not renewed for more than one year after expiration, it will be revoked. 2. Notes: Bring your original driver's license and ID card. Renewal can only be done in advance, and there must be a valid reason for any delay (if delayed, you must explain the reason to the traffic management department in advance). According to regulations, renewal can be done up to 3 months in advance. If your license is about to expire, you should renew it as soon as possible. If delayed, you may face a fine.

I just went through the process of extending my driver's license renewal. Actually, if you've already applied for an extension, you can definitely renew it in advance, but it depends on the specific requirements of the local traffic management department. The extension is usually a grace period, for example, if you didn't have time to renew within the original 90-day window before expiration, applying for an extension allows you to flexibly arrange the renewal within a specified timeframe. Last time, I was delayed due to a business trip, but after getting the extension, I went to the DMV two months early to renew my license. I just submitted the required materials, and the staff verified the validity period without any issues. However, it's best to call or check the local policy online first, as some places might require you to make an appointment in advance or confirm your identity to avoid a wasted trip. Overall, the extension itself doesn't affect taking early action; in fact, it provides more convenience. Just make sure you have all the necessary documents ready and renew on time to ensure safe driving.

Last year, my driver's license was extended, and at that time, I heard that it could be renewed in advance. So, I went to the DMV to inquire about it. Turns out, you can indeed renew it early! Remember, the extension is there to push back the deadline, but the actual renewal process can be initiated at any time, as long as it's within the extension period. I went three months early with my original ID and medical examination report, filled out the forms, and got it done quickly. The service staff told me that as long as the system shows the extension is valid, renewing early doesn't affect anything. I also picked up a little tip: renewing early saves you from last-minute hassles, especially avoiding the risk of temporary transportation hiccups. It's advisable to check the specific time slots on the DMV website, as rules vary by location, but overall, it's quite flexible—safety first, don't procrastinate.

It's definitely fine to renew your license early during the extension period, as traffic regulations allow it. The key is to confirm whether your current status is still within the extension period—don't wait until it expires to think about it. Personally, once I apply for an extension, I treat it as flexible time and renew my license a month early. Just bring your old license and ID to the DMV counter for a direct replacement. Don't worry about the timing being too tight—staff handle countless cases, and the process is simple and quick. Keeping valid documents for daily driving reduces the risk of delays during checks, which is quite practical.
