Renewing a driver's license can be done online. Log in to the official website of 12123, find the business center, enter the section for renewing an expired driver's license, follow the page instructions, prepare the required materials, take the documents to the local vehicle management office, and you can receive your new motor vehicle driver's license after 3 working days. Required materials: Original ID card and one copy; a printed medical examination form, a certificate of physical condition issued by a county-level or above medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level; 3 one-inch white background bareheaded photos (one for the medical examination form, one for the application form, and one for the new driver's license); non-local residents need a temporary residence permit/work residence permit valid for the period. Processing method: After arriving at the vehicle management office, go to the corresponding window to collect the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" and the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" to fill out. Pay the medical examination fee at the designated window, go to the medical examination area for a doctor's examination, and the doctor will stamp the form after the examination. Then go to the license window to get a queue number, submit all the materials when it's your turn, follow the staff's instructions to complete the process, pay the driver's license production fee, and then wait for the new driver's license to be issued.
When I renewed my driver's license online, the process was incredibly convenient, especially for the fast-paced urban lifestyle—it saved me a lot of hassle. You just need to download the Traffic Management 12123 app on your phone, register an account, complete real-name verification, and then select the driver's license renewal service. Upload a front-facing ID photo and a recent 1-inch white-background electronic photo, pay a small service fee, and you're done. The whole process can be completed without leaving home, and the new license is delivered directly to you in a few days. Just remember to apply within 90 days in advance to avoid peak periods. Also, some materials, like health examination certificates, need to be scanned and uploaded. The operation is simple, but be mindful of the photo dimensions to avoid rejection and wasted time. Give it a try, and you'll see how much time and effort it saves—no more queuing! The entire experience is far more efficient.
