Do I Need to Retake the Driving Test If My License Has Expired?

[LaLorenzo]

Whether you need to retake the driving test after your license expires depends on how long it has been expired. If your driving license has been expired for less than a year, you can go to the vehicle management office to renew it by presenting your expired license, ID card, and a health certificate. If it has been expired for more than a year but less than three years, you will need to pass the subject one test before you can renew it. If it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be automatically canceled, and you will need to go through driving school and retake the test to obtain a new license. Here are some precautions regarding the use of a driving license: 1. Driving licenses have an expiration date: A driving license is only valid for driving legally if it is within its validity period. Driving with an expired license is illegal. 2. Avoid accumulating 12 penalty points within 12 months: A driving license has 12 points that can be deducted within a 12-month period. If you accumulate 12 points, you will need to attend a training session at the local vehicle management office and pass a test. If you fail the test, you must retake it until you pass before you can get your license back.
