Can You Drive While Waiting for a Replacement Driver's License?
1 Answers
You cannot drive while waiting for a replacement driver's license. When driving, you must carry both the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license with you. Failure to carry these documents will result in the vehicle being impounded, which will only be returned after presenting the required documents, along with a fine and a 1-point deduction from your license. Process for replacing a driver's license: Bring your ID card and a one-inch photo to the local vehicle management office, fill out a lost driver's license declaration and a replacement application form; submit the documents, photo, and application form to the staff, then pay the processing fee. Generally, you can receive your new driver's license within one day. In some places, you can get it on the spot. Locations for replacing a driver's license: Local vehicle management sub-offices, traffic branch offices, vehicle management stations at traffic teams, and driver's license renewal service points. Compliant vehicle management offices should issue a replacement "Motor Vehicle Driver's License" within one day.
