How Early Can You Renew an Expiring Driver's License?
1 Answers
According to the regulations on driver's license usage, you cannot directly apply for a license renewal in a different location when your driver's license expires. However, you can first transfer it to your place of residence and then proceed with the renewal process. For out-of-town license renewal, the application must be processed before the license expires. After expiration, you must return to the vehicle management office at the license's issuing location to apply for renewal. Additional details are as follows: 1. Renewal Time: To process an out-of-town license renewal, you need to bring the driver's license, the original and a copy of the driver's ID card, three one-inch color photos of the driver, and a medical examination report from a county-level or higher medical institution. You must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" at the vehicle management office. Typically, the renewal process takes about one to three days. 2. Overview: Out-of-town license renewal should be applied for at the vehicle management office within 90 days before the license expires. If you fail to renew the license within the specified time, you can still proceed with the renewal within one year after expiration. If the license has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, it enters a recoverable revoked status. The driver can take relevant exams at the vehicle management office to restore the license's validity.
