How Long Can a Driver's License Renewal Be Extended?
1 Answers
Driver's license renewal can be extended for up to three years. For overdue annual review and renewal of a driver's license, the process can begin 90 days before the expiration date. If overdue, different time periods have different handling methods. Overdue renewal time limits: If overdue for less than one year, the license can be renewed normally. If the renewal period is overdue for less than one year, the driver's license will be in an overdue and unrenewed state. The driver can bring their ID card, expired driver's license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution to the vehicle management office to complete the renewal procedure without taking any subject exams. The latest renewal can be done within three years. After three years, the license will be completely revoked. Specific renewal process: Depending on the situation at the processing hall, queue or take a number from the machine by clicking on the screen; fill out the motor vehicle driver's license application form; present the documents at the processing window. The staff will verify the documents, records, and any demerit points. If everything is normal, the next step is to take a photo on-site, which will be used for the new driver's license. Then, undergo a recommended medical examination, which may include a vision test, color blindness test, hearing test, etc., depending on the local vehicle management office requirements. After the medical examination, a motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate will be issued. After completing the above steps, return to the original processing window for final approval. The staff will ask you to sign the motor vehicle driver's license application form, collect the processing fee, and print the new driver's license, completing the renewal process. If overdue for one to three years, the license will be in a revocable but recoverable state, and passing the subject one exam will allow normal renewal. If overdue for more than three years, the license will be revoked.
