Can the Annual Review of A2 Driving License Be Processed in Another Location?

The annual review of an A2 driving license can be processed in another location. Drivers holding licenses for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks must undergo an annual review at the issuing vehicle management office within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. For motor vehicle drivers engaged in commercial operations in another location, they can directly participate in the annual review at the operational location after registering with the local vehicle management office for one year. Motor vehicle drivers can also authorize an agent to handle license renewal, replacement, submission of physical condition certificates, extension processing, and cancellation services. When applying for motor vehicle driving license services, the agent must submit their identity proof and an application form or physical condition certificate jointly signed by the motor vehicle driver and the agent. Additionally, the requirement for "an annual physical examination, submitting a physical condition certificate issued by a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution within thirty days after the end of the scoring cycle," has been postponed from the age of 60 to 70. If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period of their driving license, they will be issued a 10-year validity driving license. If they continue to avoid accumulating 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term valid driving license. When renewing the motor vehicle driving license, the traffic management department of the public security authority must conduct an annual review of the driving license.

Last year when I was on a business trip to Shanghai, I conveniently completed the annual review of my A2 driver's license at the local vehicle management office. The whole process went quite smoothly. The staff mentioned that driver's license information is now nationally interconnected, making cross-regional handling completely hassle-free—just bring your ID card, original driver's license, and health certificate. It took me less than half an hour to finish, saving me the trouble of making a special trip back home. However, a reminder: ensure your license hasn't expired or has any outstanding traffic violations, otherwise you'll need to clear those first. Handling such matters across regions is very convenient, avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth hassle, especially for those of us who frequently drive long distances—it's a considerate policy. Next time I need an annual review, I might do it out of town again, saving time and effort, and ensuring safer travels on the road.

Having driven heavy trucks for over 20 years, I'm long accustomed to handling my A2 license annual review out of town. Current traffic regulations clearly state that any vehicle management office nationwide can process it—no need to make a special trip back home. I've tried this several times with all documents prepared, and the efficiency is quite good. But pay attention to a few points: check if all vehicle violations are cleared (outstanding tickets must be settled first); get the health report done in advance to avoid wasted trips. Additionally, processing it elsewhere avoids prolonged parking affecting livelihood—I recommend regularly checking status via the 12123 Traffic Management App to prevent issues. Overall, this policy is excellent, giving drivers more freedom without worrying about long trips causing delays.

I had my A2 driver's license annual review done in Shenzhen last year, and it was completely manageable even while being out of town. The process is straightforward: just bring your driver's license and ID card to the local vehicle management office, fill out a form, and if all documents are in order, it can be completed in half a day. Nowadays, I often use the Traffic Management 12123 App for assistance—it helps check appointment status and reminds me of important tasks, saving me the hassle of queuing. The advantage of handling it in another city is the flexibility to choose a suitable location based on my work, eliminating the need for a special trip back home. However, be mindful of a few things: ensure there are no overdue records and book an appointment online in advance. This way, it’s both convenient and efficient, without compromising travel safety.
