How early can you renew your driver's license before it expires?

[LeCali]

Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules": Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of their motor vehicle driver's license. If the driver's license expires, traffic police will impose a fine if caught, but no penalty points will be deducted. There is a latest deadline for license renewal. If the license has been expired for less than a year, it can be renewed through the normal process; if expired for one to three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be regained by passing the subject one exam; if expired for more than three years, the license will be canceled. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of their motor vehicle driver's license. When applying, an application form should be filled out, and the following documents and proofs should be submitted: the motor vehicle driver's identity proof, the motor vehicle driver's license, and a medical condition proof issued by a county-level or above medical institution or a military regiment-level or above medical institution. For those applying for a special small automatic passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical condition proof issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority should be submitted. Materials required for driver's license renewal: original ID card and its copy, a qualified medical examination form from a hospital designated by the vehicle management office, three one-inch white-background color photos, a completed driver's license renewal application form, and the processing fee. Photos and medical examination proofs required for renewal can be brought by the applicant. If concerned about their validity, these can be processed directly at the traffic police department's license office to avoid delays. Relevant matters for renewing an expired driver's license: About renewal: For annual review and renewal of an expired driver's license, the old driver's license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office.
