Can the Driving Association Replace a Driver's License?
2 Answers
The Driving Association cannot replace a driver's license; you need to go to the Vehicle Management Office for replacement. More information about the Vehicle Management Office is as follows: 1. Introduction: The Vehicle Management Office is a direct agency under the public security system, mainly responsible for handling motor vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and cancellation. It is generally available only at the county level or above. 2. Main Services: The Vehicle Management Office handles applications for driver's licenses, replacements, renewals, inspections, and other services related to motor vehicles and drivers. 3. Process and Workstations: When processing motor vehicle registration, driver examinations, and licensing, the Vehicle Management Office should use a business process record form (hereinafter referred to as the 'Process Record Form') to record the processing status of motor vehicle registration and driver examinations and licensing. Upon completion of the service, each workstation should sign the 'Process Record Form.' The supervisory workstation or business leadership workstation should note clear handling opinions on the 'Process Record Form' when addressing issues reported by various workstations. The 'Process Record Form' is stored in the vehicle and driver archives.
To be honest, I remember that driving associations can't directly help you replace your driver's license—that's the DMV's specialty. When your license is about to expire or needs renewal, you have to visit the DMV in person with required documents like your original ID, old driver's license, health certificate, and a couple of photos. Driving associations mainly provide auxiliary services, such as guiding you through the process or reminding you to avoid forgetting important materials. Last time I renewed my license, I asked the driving association in advance for their recommended medical check-up location, which saved me a lot of time—but they can't handle the formalities, they just help you avoid detours. Driving with an expired license counts as unlicensed driving, which is too risky. I suggest preparing three months before expiration. The DMV has an official appointment system, which is quite convenient.
