Do I Need to Retake the Driving Test if My Driver's License Expires?
1 Answers
As long as the driver's license has not been expired for more than 3 years, you can apply for a renewal. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," an expired driver's license does not require retaking the test. If the license has been expired for less than one year, you can go through the normal renewal procedures at the vehicle management office. However, driving with an expired license is prohibited and will be treated as driving without a license. Circumstances requiring a test for an expired driver's license: If the driver's license has been expired for over one year, it will be deregistered. To lift the deregistration and renew the license, you must first pass the subject one test. If the license has been expired for over three years, it will be invalidated, and the driver must re-enroll in a driving school and pass all subject tests to regain driving eligibility. Procedure for handling an expired driver's license: Bring all required documents to the local vehicle management office to apply for renewal, obtain and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," submit the completed form and documents to the staff for review, pay the processing fee upon approval, and wait 10-20 minutes to receive the new driver's license. Documents required for renewing an expired driver's license: The driver's original ID card and a copy, the motor vehicle driver's license, a one-inch color photo with a white background (front view, without a hat), and a "Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a qualified medical institution such as a secondary or higher-level hospital, township health center, community health service center, or health examination center.
