How Long After Expiration Can a Driver's License Still Be Renewed?
1 Answers
If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be renewed normally; if it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be renewed by passing the subject one exam; if it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Driving during the expired period is not allowed and may be treated as driving without a license. License renewal and inspection must meet the following conditions: Holders of a large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's license must have no demerit points in the current scoring cycle, or holders of other types of driver's licenses must have fewer than 12 demerit points in the current scoring cycle; Holders of a large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's license who have demerit points in the current scoring cycle, as well as holders of other types of driver's licenses who have been involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility without having their license revoked, must have completed the inspection education; The applicant must have no outstanding road traffic safety violations or traffic accidents; The applicant's physical condition must meet the driving license requirements; The driver's license must not be under legal seizure, detention, suspension, revocation, cancellation, or annulment. Bring two copies of the ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without a hat, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office). The driver must submit the required materials to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval.
