According to regulations, the system will review the application within 1-2 working days. Once approved, staff will begin producing and mailing the new license. Generally, you can receive your new driver's license within 3-5 days. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Do not drive before receiving the new license: After successfully applying for a replacement, you cannot drive with the original license before receiving the new one. If the replacement application is processed but you do not receive the new license on the same day due to time constraints, you must not drive during this "gap period" before obtaining the new license, or it will be considered unlicensed driving. 2. The original license becomes invalid after replacement: Once the new license is issued, the original driver's license becomes invalid. If you find the original license after receiving the new one, the original is still considered invalid, and the new license should be used.
