Can I Renew My Driver's License on Saturday?
2 Answers
Driver's licenses cannot be renewed on Saturdays; renewal must be processed on weekdays. Below are the specific details regarding the application for driver's license renewal: 1. Renewal Period: The motor vehicle driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of the current driver's license. 2. Required Documents: (1) Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver (2) The current driver's license (3) A medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution, or a military medical institution at or above the regiment level, confirming the driver's physical condition. For those applying to drive small automatic passenger vehicles specially designed for disabled individuals, a medical certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority is required.
Let me tell you, whether you can renew your driver's license on a Saturday really depends on which city you're in. In some major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, certain vehicle management offices have weekend duty services where you can handle license renewal, but you'll need to make an online appointment first - don't just show up unannounced. You'll need to bring your ID card, the original old driver's license, and if it's expired, a medical examination report. However, in small towns or rural areas, the vehicle management offices are mostly closed on Saturdays, so you'll have to wait until weekdays. I recommend checking the business hours on your local traffic management bureau's official website or calling to confirm, to avoid wasting your time. To be safe, it's better to arrange for renewal well before your license expires, don't wait until the last minute to rush.
