Can I still renew my driver's license normally if it has expired for ten days?

You can normally renew your driver's license if it has expired for ten days. If the expiration period is less than one year, you can renew it normally; if it has expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but you can renew it by passing the subject one exam; if it has expired for more than three years, the license will become invalid and cannot be renewed. Renewal process: The motor vehicle driver should bring the required materials and apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. In addition to applying for renewal at the vehicle management office, you can also apply for renewal through the following methods: Renewal via the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expired License Renewal Service -- fill in the information. The new license is generally delivered by mail. Visit the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at a postal business hall to process the renewal. The entire process, from registration and medical examination to the production of the new license, takes only half an hour. Currently, only a few cities have launched this service, such as Hangzhou.
A driver's license that has expired for ten days can still be renewed normally. I've encountered a similar situation before, and there was no problem at all. As long as you apply within the specified time, usually within one year after expiration, at the vehicle management office or via an APP, it's fine. Just bring your ID card, old driver's license, and medical examination certificate, take a photo for registration, and you'll get your new license quickly. Don't think it's a big deal—just handle it promptly. Remember to follow the rules and don't take risks while driving. Renewing an expired license is much easier than driving with an expired one. If caught driving with an expired license, you could face fines and points—it's not worth the trouble to save a few bucks.
You can normally renew your driver's license within ten days after it expires, and I recommend handling it as soon as possible. The process is very simple: bring a copy of your ID card, recent photos, and a medical examination report, go to the DMV to fill out an application form, and the staff will check and process it directly. Driving with an expired license is illegal and may result in being stopped and penalized, so prioritize safety. If it's during peak periods, using a transportation APP to make an appointment is more convenient and helps avoid long queues.
An expired driver's license for ten days won't affect the renewal process, but I must remind you to handle it promptly. The procedure remains the same as normal—visit the nearest traffic management department or platform and submit the basic documents to get it done. Most importantly, do not drive during the expiration period, as severe consequences will follow if caught on the road.
