How long after applying for a license renewal extension can the license be renewed?
1 Answers
You can renew it at any time within one year. Bring your ID card, residence permit, and original driver's license to the vehicle management office for processing, along with a medical examination and photo. If your driver's license has expired, you cannot apply for an extension. If it has been over one year, you will need to take the subject one exam. If it has been over three years, you will need to retake all the exams. Materials required for renewing an expired driver's license: Prepare two one-inch photos and a medical examination certificate. One photo should be affixed to the top right of the medical examination form, and the other should be kept for the new license. Bring your ID card and driver's license to the license processing hall, fill out the renewal application form, and then submit the documents, medical examination certificate, and renewal application form to the staff. Pay the processing fee, and then wait to receive your new license. Before renewing, check if there are any unresolved traffic violations. If there are, they must be resolved first; otherwise, the renewal cannot be processed. Plan the renewal time reasonably to avoid expiration. If your license expires and you haven't renewed it, traffic police may fine you without deducting points. It's best to have the photos and medical examination certificate prepared directly at the traffic police office's processing hall. Otherwise, self-provided materials might not meet the requirements, leading to delays for retaking photos or redoing the medical examination. The renewal is usually processed on the spot, but in some large cities, it may take a few days. However, it must be completed within 15 days at most, after which you will be notified to collect your new license.
