Can Renhe Vehicle Management Office Replace Driver's License?

Yes. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" have corresponding provisions: Article 57: A motor vehicle driver shall apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office that issued the original driver's license or at a vehicle management office outside the issuing jurisdiction within 90 days before the expiration of the current driver's license. Additional Information: Relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 58: If a motor vehicle driver's household registration is relocated outside the jurisdiction of the original vehicle management office, they shall apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of the new jurisdiction. If a motor vehicle driver resides outside the jurisdiction of the issuing vehicle management office, they may apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of their residence. When applying, they shall fill out an application form and submit their identity proof and motor vehicle driver's license. Article 59: Individuals aged 60 or above are not permitted to drive large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, and trams; those holding licenses for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks are subject to this restriction.
Renewing your driver's license? Of course, it can be done at the DMV. I renewed mine when it expired two years ago. Remember to bring your ID card, old driver's license, and a one-inch photo. Before queuing, get a number at the service counter—it usually takes about half an hour to finish. The DMV staff checks carefully, mainly looking for any traffic violation records or medical reports. The fee is just a few dozen yuan, payable in cash or by scanning a QR code. Many people say it's crowded on-site, but I recommend going on a weekday morning when it's less busy and faster. If you drive often, don't wait too long to renew your license—be careful not to let it expire and risk fines or credit impact. After getting your new license, remember to keep it in your car so it's easy to show during inspections.
