How long before the expiration of a driver's license can one apply for renewal?

Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules": A motor vehicle driver shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. If the driver's license expires, traffic police will impose a fine upon discovery, but no penalty points will be deducted. There is a latest deadline for license renewal. If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be renewed through the normal process; if expired for one to three years, the license will be revoked, and one can regain it by passing the subject one exam; if expired for more than three years, the license will be revoked. Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules": A motor vehicle driver shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. When applying, one shall fill out an application form and submit the following documents and certificates: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a medical institution at or above the county level or the regimental level of the military. For those applying for a special small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority shall be submitted. Materials required for driver's license renewal: original ID card and its copy, qualified physical examination form from a hospital designated by the vehicle management office, three one-inch white background color photos, a completed driver's license renewal application form, and the processing fee. Photos and physical examination certificates required for renewal can be brought by oneself. If concerned about the self-brought materials not meeting the requirements, one can directly handle the renewal at the license processing hall of the traffic police department to avoid delays. Relevant matters for driver's license renewal upon expiration: About renewal: For annual review and renewal of an expired driver's license, the old driver's license needs to be surrendered to the vehicle management office. Before renewal, all relevant traffic violation information on the license must be cleared; otherwise, the application will not be accepted. Renewal of a motor vehicle driver's license can be done through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123," or through the vehicle management office, traffic management departments, or public security authorities, effectively renewing the motor vehicle driver's license.
