How long before the driver's license expires should I go to renew it?

You should go to renew your driver's license within 90 days before its expiration. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as the driver's license. According to the law, it is the certificate required for motor vehicle drivers to apply for. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle at will may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, people without a license cannot drive on the road. The precautions for renewing an expired driver's license are: 1. The applicant should truthfully submit the required materials to the vehicle management office, declare the required matters truthfully, and be responsible for the authenticity of the substantive content of the application materials; 2. The applicant should meet the application conditions specified in the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses.
I just renewed my driver's license last month, and you can do it up to 90 days in advance. Remember to bring your original ID card, old driver's license, and medical examination certificate. Many vehicle management offices now have self-service medical examination machines, which take only ten minutes to complete. Here's the key point: make sure there are no traffic violations or points deducted, otherwise the system will get stuck. If your driver's license has expired for less than a year, you can still renew it normally. If it's been over a year, you'll need to retake the subject one test, and if it's been over three years, it will be directly canceled. It's recommended to go early and avoid the busy periods at the end of the month. The vehicle management offices are usually less crowded on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. After renewing your license, don't forget to update the driver's license information in the Traffic Management 12123 app to avoid it showing as unregistered in the system.
I learned a hard lesson when renewing my driver's license - going one month early resulted in overwhelming queues. The staff directly informed me that the renewal can actually be processed up to three months before expiration, so there's no need to wait until the last minute. There are two scenarios: For local residents, it's simplest - just bring three white-background photos and a medical examination form to the counter. For out-of-town renewals, you'll need to first visit the local police station for a residence certificate, which takes about two extra days compared to local renewals. Many cities now have 24-hour self-service renewal machines, but these devices only accept new-style ID cards. A little tip: The 12123 app allows you to check renewal progress - don't just wait for SMS notifications after submitting your materials.
