You can renew your driver's license in advance if it is about to expire.

If the driver's license expires, the traffic police will impose a fine if caught, but no points will be deducted. There is a latest deadline for renewing the driver's license. If it has expired for less than one year, you can renew it according to the normal process; if it has expired for one to three years, the license will be revoked, and you can regain it by passing the subject one exam; if it has expired for more than three years, the license will be canceled.
