If it has been expired for more than three years, the driver's license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. The methods for renewing a driver's license are as follows: Renew through the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expiration Renewal Service -- fill in the required information. The new license is usually delivered by mail. Visit the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at a postal office to process the renewal. The entire process, from registration to medical examination and new license production, takes only half an hour. Currently, this service is only available in a few cities, such as Hangzhou. Documents required for renewal: Bring two copies of your ID card, two 1-inch recent color photos without hats, 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).
