Can I still renew my motorcycle driver's license if it has been expired for one year?

You cannot directly renew the license if it has been expired for more than one year—it will be revoked. However, within two years after revocation, you can take an exam to restore it. Therefore, you need to study and take the exam first. Below is some information about motorcycle driver's licenses: Differences: A Class D license allows you to drive three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles, including vehicles covered by Class E and ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles. A Class E license only permits driving two-wheeled motorcycles and light motorcycles. Intern sign: During the internship period, when driving a motor vehicle, a uniform-style intern sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Class D, E, and F licenses: All belong to motorcycle driver's licenses, representing ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles, respectively.
I forgot to renew my motorcycle license until it had been expired for a year and a half. In such cases where it's over a year, you can't directly renew it. You'll need to go to the DMV to retake the theory test (Subject 1) first, and only after passing can your license be reinstated. Remember to bring your ID card, original driver's license, and medical examination certificate – you might also need photos. I suggest you handle this ASAP, as licenses expired over three years get completely revoked and require retaking all tests. The exams are much harder now with several question bank updates, so it's safer to practice extensively on the 'Driving Test Prep' app beforehand – don't risk failing like I almost did. The renewal windows always have long queues, so try visiting on a weekday afternoon when it's less crowded.
