Can I still renew my driver's license if it has expired?
1 Answers
If your driver's license has been expired for less than one year, you can renew it at any time by following the normal renewal process. However, if your driver's license has been expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will cancel it according to the law. If the expiration period is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore their driving qualification. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be completely canceled, and the driver must retake the driver's license test to drive again; renewal is not an option. Documents required for renewal: Bring two copies of your ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without hats, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office). Renewal process: The motor vehicle driver should bring the required documents to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval.
