Overdue renewal: You can apply for renewal within 90 days before the license expires. If the license has been expired for less than one year, you can still apply for renewal. If it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, you must pass the subject one exam to renew. If it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be canceled, and you must reapply. 2. Required materials for renewal: Original ID card, original driver's license, a one-inch white-background photo, and a physical condition certificate. You can process the renewal at a traffic police service point or online via the comprehensive traffic safety service management platform.
