How long can I renew my license after applying for an extension?
1 Answers
A driver's license extension for renewal must be completed within a maximum of one year. If the extension is less than one year, the license can be renewed normally. If the extension is between one and three years, the license will be revoked, but it can be renewed by passing the subject one exam. If the extension exceeds three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Penalties for an expired driver's license: Driving a motor vehicle during the expiration period is prohibited and may be treated as driving without a license. If the driver's license has been expired for less than one year, the driver can renew it at any time, but driving on the road will result in a 200 yuan fine. If the driver's license has been expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will revoke it. If the expiration period is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore their driving qualification. Driving on the road during this period will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be permanently revoked. The driver must retake the driver's license exam to drive again. Otherwise, driving on the road will be considered as driving without a license, resulting in a 2000 yuan fine and up to 15 days of administrative detention.
