How long after the expiration of a driver's license is it still considered valid?
1 Answers
A driver's license is considered expired even one day after its validity period. You can renew your driver's license within 90 days before its expiration date. Therefore, a driver's license that has been expired for 10 days is considered expired for 10 days. After expiration, you cannot use the driver's license to drive a motor vehicle on the road, which is considered driving without a license. Here are the measures to take after the expiration of a driver's license: 1. Within the first year after expiration, you can go to the relevant department of the vehicle management office to renew your driver's license. According to regulations, you can normally renew your driver's license within one year after expiration. Therefore, if you are unable to renew your driver's license in time due to special reasons, you can still do so within the first year after expiration. 2. If the driver's license has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, you need to take the subject one exam when renewing your driver's license. Only after passing the exam can you apply for renewal. There are two attempts for the subject one exam: the main exam and a retake. If you fail the exam, you can continue to register until you pass. 3. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be revoked and invalidated. You cannot drive a motor vehicle with it, and you will need to reapply for a new driver's license if you wish to drive again. Moreover, driving with an expired driver's license is not allowed. If caught by traffic police, you may face fines and up to 15 days of detention.
