You can undergo your driver's license annual review in another province. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": motor vehicle drivers may participate in the review and submit physical condition certificates either at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or elsewhere. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. Depending on the nature of the motor vehicle's use, the inspection items and scope may vary. Inspection items: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for the Qualification and Competence Evaluation of Inspection Bodies - Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions", motor vehicle inspection includes three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection of vehicles.
When my driver's license expired during a business trip to Beijing two years ago, I renewed it directly at a nearby vehicle management office. Now, license renewal is available nationwide, as long as you bring your ID card, original driver's license, and medical examination report to the local vehicle management office. Remember to make an online appointment in advance to avoid queuing, and the fee is ten yuan. After renewal, check the validity period and permitted vehicle types on the new license to ensure accuracy, especially for drivers who are often away from home—this policy is particularly convenient. If you don’t have time for a medical exam, many designated hospitals near vehicle management offices can handle it on the spot. However, procedures may vary by location, so it’s best to check specific requirements on the local traffic management website.
