How Long Can a Driver's License Be Overdue Before It Cannot Be Renewed?
1 Answers
If your driver's license has expired, delaying the renewal process for a few days will not cause any issues. However, it is best not to exceed three years after expiration, otherwise the license will be revoked. Below are the specific scenarios: Renewal overdue by less than one year: If the driver's license is in an expired but not renewed state, the driver can bring their ID card, the expired license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution to the DMV to complete the renewal process without having to take any additional tests. Overdue by one to three years: If the driver's license has been overdue for more than one year but less than three years, it will be in a "revoked but recoverable" state during this two-year period. This means that although the license is technically revoked, it can still be reinstated. The driver only needs to pass the written test (Subject 1) at the DMV, and upon passing, they can proceed with the normal renewal process.
