How long after the driver's license expires can it be renewed?

[VonAugust]

Driver's licenses can still be renewed up to three years after expiration, but will be permanently revoked if not renewed within three years. Relevant regulations for expired driver's licenses: 1. If the renewal period is exceeded by less than one year, the license will be in an "overdue for renewal" status. The driver can bring their ID card, expired license, and a medical certificate from a county-level or military regimental-level medical institution to the DMV to renew without taking any exams. 2. If the renewal period is exceeded by one to three years, the license will be in a "revocable" status during these two years. Although revoked, it can be reinstated. The driver only needs to pass the written test (Subject 1) at the DMV to proceed with normal renewal procedures. 3. If the renewal period is exceeded by more than three years, the license will be in a "permanently revoked" status, meaning the driving qualification is canceled and cannot be reinstated. The driver must retake all required exams like a new applicant to obtain a new license.
