Yes, 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 annual 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: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. Depending on the nature of the vehicle's use, the inspection items and scope may vary. 2. Inspection items: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for the Qualification and Competence Assessment of Inspection Bodies - Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions", motor vehicle inspection includes three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive motor vehicle performance inspection.
A few years ago when I was working in Shanghai, I went to Beijing for my driver's license renewal, which was really convenient. With the nationwide network, cross-regional processing has become very common. However, it's necessary to prepare the local residence permit or registration certificate in advance to avoid a wasted trip. Back then, I booked an appointment at the vehicle management office online, brought my ID card, original driver's license, and medical examination report, and got it done in ten minutes, saving me the hassle of taking time off for round trips. Cross-regional processing also allows handling some steps via the mobile app Traffic Management 12123 to avoid peak-hour queues, but be aware that policies may vary slightly by location—some places might require additional medical forms, so it's advisable to check the local vehicle management office's website. In short, don't worry about distant water not quenching present thirst; nowadays, cross-province driver's license renewal is the norm—safe and hassle-free.
