How early can a driver's license be renewed?

A driver's license can be renewed three months in advance, which means the renewal process should be completed within 90 days before the expiration date. The validity period of a driver's license is six years, ten years, or long-term. The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a driving license. It is a document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals who are qualified to drive, usually in the form of a card. To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the age requirements and pass a driving test. The precautions for renewing an expired driver's license are: 1. The applicant must truthfully submit the required materials to the vehicle management office, declare the specified items truthfully, and be responsible for the authenticity of the substantive content of the application materials; 2. The applicant must meet the application conditions specified in the regulations for the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses.
Last time my driver's license was about to expire, I checked the regulations and found that I could apply for a renewal 90 days in advance, which means I could have taken care of it three months earlier. As a young and inexperienced driver, it was my first time renewing my license, and I thought I could do it just a week before expiration. Luckily, a friend reminded me to prepare early. Before going to the traffic management office, I had to get a physical exam, including an eye test, and take a photo with a white background. I just needed to bring my ID card and old license, and fill out the information online for an appointment. The whole process was simple and took only about ten minutes. Don’t wait until the last minute—if you forget or get delayed, you might have to retake the written test (subject one) if it’s within a month after expiration, which is a hassle. I recommend setting a reminder, like a phone alarm 100 days before expiration, to give yourself some buffer time. Now, with the new license, the validity period is longer, making things much easier.
