Does the driving license need to be renewed?
1 Answers
The driving license needs to be renewed because it has a validity period. For example, for a C1 license, it must be renewed after the initial 6-year period. The renewed license may have a longer validity period, such as 10 years if no more than 12 penalty points were accumulated within the first 6 years. If 12 penalty points were accumulated during this period, the renewed license will still have a 6-year validity period. Below is related information: Documents required for driving license renewal: The driver must prepare the original ID card, original and photocopy of the driving license, original insurance card, and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment. Check online for any traffic violations; if there are unresolved violations, they must be settled before renewal. Apply for renewal at the local traffic police station. Insurance considerations for license renewal: For insured motor vehicles, if an accident covered by the insurance policy occurs, the policyholder must present the "Motor Vehicle Driving License," and it must be valid (i.e., the vehicle has passed annual inspections), for the insurance company to process the claim. Without a valid driving license, even within the insurance coverage period, the claim will be rejected. Additionally, note that for new vehicles, even if insurance is purchased at the same time, some insurance items only take effect from the date of vehicle registration and issuance of the "Motor Vehicle Driving License."
