How long can a C1 driver's license go without annual review before being revoked?
2 Answers
It will be revoked if overdue for more than one year. Below are detailed introductions about the C1 driver's license: 1. Overview: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. The permitted driving level of a C1 license includes (all models of C2, C3, C4) allowing the driving of small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles, light, small, and micro special operation vehicles, etc. 2. Supplement: The examination subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense. On October 22, 2020, the age limit for applying for a small car driver's license was relaxed, removing the upper age limit of 70 years for applying for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, and light motorcycle licenses.
As a veteran driver, I remember that the initial validity period of a C1 driver's license is 6 years, after which it can be renewed for 10 years or made permanent depending on the situation. If you miss the renewal deadline by more than one year but less than two years, your license will be marked as 'canceled but recoverable,' and you'll need to pass a theoretical exam to get it back. If you exceed two years without renewal, the license will be permanently canceled, and you'll have to retake the driving test. This is no small matter—I almost fell into this trap last year due to being too busy with work and forgetting the deadline. I rushed to the DMV to renew just in time to avoid trouble. It's best to renew within 90 days before expiration, bringing your ID, photos, and a medical report—the whole process is quick and easy. Make it a habit to mark reminder dates on your calendar to avoid penalties or regrets later. Safe driving starts with keeping your documents in order. Nowadays, mobile apps can also provide renewal reminders, so using these tools can save you time and hassle.
