Do I need to replace my driver's license after one year?

There is no need to replace the driver's license after one year. According to Article 74 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses, the first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains a driver's license or adds a new permitted driving category is considered the probationary period. For Class A and B driver's licenses, within 30 days after the probationary period ends, the driver must take a test on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, and other knowledge, as well as receive at least half an hour of case-based education on traffic accident warnings. After passing the test, the vehicle management office will endorse the supplementary page of the driver's license to confirm the end of the probationary period. For Class C driver's licenses, there is no need to replace the license, take any tests, or complete any formalities after the probationary period ends. The obtained driver's license can be used until its six-year validity period expires before needing replacement.
