Can I still renew my driver's license if it has expired?
1 Answers
Yes. According to relevant regulations, if your driver's license has expired for less than one year, you need to go to the vehicle management office to renew it. If the expiration period exceeds one year but is less than three years, the license is in a restorable cancellation status. You only need to retake the subject one exam at the vehicle management office, and upon passing, you can renew your license. Before renewing, please note: 1. Expiration date: Check your driver's license carefully to know the exact expiration date. 2. Traffic violations: Handle any traffic violation records promptly; otherwise, you will not pass the system review. 3. Regulations on unlicensed driving: Driving a motor vehicle on the road before receiving the new driver's license is considered unlicensed driving. 4. Validity period: New drivers receive a driver's license valid for six years. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license.
