Conditions for Obtaining a Driver's License with Permanent Validity
2 Answers
Here is the relevant information about the conditions for obtaining a driver's license with permanent validity: 1. According to the relevant regulations: Individuals who have not accumulated 12 or more penalty points in any scoring cycle during the initial six-year period after obtaining the driver's license for the first time are eligible for a ten-year license. If they continue to maintain a clean record (no 12 or more penalty points in any scoring cycle) during the ten-year period, they can then apply for a long-term valid driver's license. 2. Replacement procedures: Prepare two one-inch photos and a medical examination certificate, with one photo affixed to the top right corner of the medical examination form. Bring your ID card and driver's license to the licensing hall, fill out the license replacement application form, and then submit the documents, medical examination certificate, and application form to the staff.
As a veteran driver with decades of experience, I've gradually upgraded my driver's license from a 6-year validity period to a long-term one. The key conditions were not accumulating 12 penalty points during each renewal period and passing the required physical examinations. The process was straightforward: prepare your ID card, photos, and a health certificate from the hospital, then visit the local vehicle management office to get it done. The advantage of a long-term license is convenience—no need to worry about renewing every few years. However, it's important to note that drivers aged 70 and above must still undergo annual physical exams and renew their licenses to ensure safe driving. Personally, I think this system encourages everyone to follow the rules and avoid traffic violations and accidents, as driving is a responsibility where safety comes first. Regular vehicle maintenance is also essential to prevent unexpected issues.
