Can the driver's license annual review be processed in a different location?

Driver's license annual review can be processed in a different location. Below is the relevant information about out-of-area driver's license annual review: Required materials: According to Article 57 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if there are changes in the motor vehicle driver's information, the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License" needs to be replaced. When applying, the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" should be filled out. Processing location: The processing location can be either the vehicle management office where the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License" was originally issued or any other vehicle management office outside the issuing location. Processing hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (excluding national statutory holidays and adjusted working days).
A few days ago, I just renewed my driver's license in Xi'an. The original license was issued in my hometown, and it's indeed possible to handle the annual review in a different location. Now that the vehicle management offices across the country are interconnected, the process is very simple: bring your old driver's license and original ID card, go to a designated local hospital to get a medical examination report for 20 yuan, then fill out an application form at the vehicle management office counter, and you can get it done directly. It took me half an hour to complete, and the staff had a good attitude, even reminding me that next time I could handle it directly online. This policy is especially convenient for those of us working away from home, as we no longer have to take time off to travel back to our place of origin specifically for this.
Having driven trucks for fifteen years and traveled to twenty or thirty cities, I must say that the annual review of driver's licenses is much more convenient now. In the past, it could only be done at the place of issuance, but now long-haul drivers like us can handle it directly at the delivery location. Just go to the local vehicle management office with your documents, and the key is to prepare the medical examination certificate. Last time I renewed my license in Wuhan, I specifically checked the policy to confirm that cross-region processing is available nationwide, as the system is interconnected across the country. However, I’d like to remind everyone that procedures may vary slightly from place to place, so it’s best to call ahead and ask about the required materials.
