Does the driver's license renewal require personal attendance?

[ONaomi]

Personal attendance is not mandatory for driver's license renewal, but the applicant must prepare all required materials for renewal, and the proxy must bring their own ID card. Below are relevant details about driver's license renewal: 1. Required materials: Original driver's license, original and copy of ID card, four one-inch color photos with white background and no hat, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital. 2. Notes: For license renewal upon expiration, normal renewal is possible if it does not exceed one year. If it exceeds one year, the system will automatically change your license status to 'canceled but recoverable,' requiring you to pass a theoretical test to restore the license. If it exceeds two years, an additional road test is required. If it exceeds three years, the license will be directly canceled. Therefore, it is important not to exceed one year under any circumstances, as renewal can still be done normally within one year; secondly, never drive during this period, otherwise, traffic police will treat it as driving without a license.
