Can I Renew My Driver's License Without Going in Person?

[Stephanie]

You can renew your driver's license without going in person. Here are the precautions for license renewal: 1. The power of attorney application form requires the signatures of both the applicant and the agent: To authorize someone to renew your driver's license, the motor vehicle driver's license application form must be signed by both the applicant and the agent. The agent must also provide the original and a copy of their ID. If the agent is a non-local resident, they must additionally provide the original and a copy of their residence or temporary residence permit issued by the local public security authority. 2. No outstanding on-site traffic violations before renewal: Before renewing your driver's license, you must have no outstanding on-site traffic violations. If there are any, you must first handle them at the traffic management office where the violation occurred before you can renew your license. Electronic traffic violations or parking violations do not affect the renewal of your driver's license. 3. Renew your license three months before it expires: Generally, drivers should renew their licenses three months before they expire. Since the renewal process takes some time, if the new license has not been received by the time the old one expires, the old license will become invalid. In case of a traffic accident during this period, the insurance company will not provide compensation.
