Does the C1 license's supplementary page need to be replaced after one year?
2 Answers
C1 license's supplementary page does not need to be replaced after one year. The C1 driver's license only requires replacement after the six-year validity period expires. Below are specific details about driver's license replacement: 1. Processing time: Replacement can be processed within 90 days before the license's expiration date. If the license has expired for less than one year, you can still apply for replacement. If it has expired for more than one year but less than three years, you must pass the subject one exam to proceed with normal replacement. 2. Required materials: Original ID card, original driver's license, one-inch white background ID photo, and physical condition certificate. 3. Replacement location: Visit the nearest traffic police service outlet or process it online via the Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Management Platform.
I remember when I just got my C1 driver's license for a year, I also wondered whether the supplementary page needed to be replaced. I asked my driving school instructor and a friend at the vehicle management office, and they both said that after the probation period is over, there's no need to specifically replace the supplementary page. It mainly records your probation period information and violation records, and it remains valid as long as the license itself hasn't been updated. The entire license only needs to be renewed when it expires after 6 or 10 years, and it can stay as it is in the interim. After my first year, I just checked the supplementary page for any errors and reviewed my driving habits during the probation period, such as adhering to the requirements for accompanied driving on highways, to avoid future troubles. For safety, I developed the habit of regularly checking my violation records, which can be done easily on apps, ensuring a smooth transition to the formal driving period. Just keep a relaxed mindset.
