How Long After First Obtaining a Driver's License Before It Needs to Be Replaced?

[LaReid]

The initial driver's license replacement period is six years. Driving with an expired license is prohibited and may be treated as driving without a license. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a license replacement at the vehicle management office of the license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license. The "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" must be completed during the application. If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the license, they will be issued a driver's license with a ten-year validity period. If they continue to not accumulate 12 points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term valid driver's license. Time regulations: If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be replaced normally; if expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be reinstated by passing the subject one test; if expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be replaced.
