Do I need to replace the expired supplementary page of the driving license?

The expired supplementary page of the driving license does not need to be replaced. The new version of the driving license's supplementary page records the start and end dates of the probationary period. After the probationary period ends, there is no need to go to the vehicle management office to replace the license. Once the probationary period is over, there is no requirement to replace the driving license or its supplementary page. After the probationary period, if the driver has not violated any regulations, the license becomes a formal motor vehicle driving license. The license only needs to be reissued when its 6-year validity period expires. The license holder does not need to be present for the replacement; it can be done by an authorized agent. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period of the driving license, they will be issued a 10-year validity driving license upon renewal. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term valid driving license upon renewal.

Last time I drove, the copy of my vehicle license had expired, but I kept driving as usual. As a result, I was stopped by traffic police and fined 100 yuan—what a bummer! After that, I hurried to the DMV to get a new copy. Just bring your ID card, the original vehicle license, and a photo; the whole process takes about half an hour and costs just over ten yuan. The copy is usually valid for six years, tied to the vehicle’s annual inspection. Don’t procrastinate—once it expires, it becomes invalid. If you’re caught driving with an expired copy, not only will you face fines, but it might also affect insurance claims. I usually set a reminder to renew it a month before expiration—it’s hassle-free and keeps things smooth. My fellow drivers all say this habit works great. Driving compliantly is the safest way to go.

When repairing cars, we often see customers overlook this issue. If the duplicate of the vehicle license has expired, it must be renewed; otherwise, the annual inspection will fail, and you may face point deductions and fines when driving. I recommend going directly to the vehicle management office for processing—the procedure is simple: bring the original license, ID card, fill out an application form for renewal, and the fee is minimal. If the duplicate is invalid, the vehicle becomes illegal, and in case of an accident, the trouble will be significant. Regularly check the documents and don’t be lazy. Take a quick look at the validity period during vehicle maintenance to prevent many troubles. Driving requires a comprehensive check—details determine everything.

According to regulations, if the duplicate of the vehicle license expires, it must be replaced immediately. Otherwise, driving without a valid document is considered a violation, and failing to replace it within 30 days after expiration may result in a fine of one to two hundred yuan. The duplicate is an integral part of the entire vehicle license; without it, the license is invalid, and the annual inspection will not pass. The process of replacing the license at the vehicle management office is quick: simply bring all the required materials and apply. Remember to keep all documents complete to avoid minor errors affecting major safety. All drivers should develop the habit of checking their documents regularly.
