How Long Does a Driver's License Last Before Expiring?

[Don]

The first driver's license expires after six years, the second one expires after ten years, and subsequent licenses are valid indefinitely. A driver's license becomes invalid if it expires for more than one year. The annual review will not be canceled if the driver's license expires within one year. The annual review can be conducted within one year without incurring a fine. If a driver fails to renew the license for more than one year after its expiration, the vehicle management office shall revoke the driver's license. Legal basis: According to Article 56 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' if a driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the license, the license can be renewed for a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, the license can be renewed for an indefinite period.
