How Long Does It Take for a New Driver's License to Take Effect?

[CadenDella]

The new driver's license takes effect on the same day of replacement. Expired driver's license: If expired for less than one year, you can renew it normally; if expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but you can renew it by passing the subject one exam; if expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Notes for license renewal: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license. The following documents must be submitted: the driver's identity proof; the driver's license; a medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level.
