Generally, it takes 3-5 days to receive the new driver's license. If there are many people applying for the service locally or the logistics are busy, the processing time may be slightly longer. Here is the relevant information: Cancellation is possible: The license renewal upon expiration can be canceled. Many drivers have encountered situations where the system does not process their renewal application submitted through Traffic Management 12123, or it keeps prompting that they do not meet the conditions for renewal upon expiration. In such cases, they may want to cancel the renewal application and handle it in person. To cancel the renewal application: Use the "Feedback" function in the service center to submit a cancellation request with the reason, and then wait for the system to process it. If the system does not cancel the application promptly, you can call the platform's customer service to expedite the process. Alternatively, bring your ID card, driver's license, health certificate, and a one-inch white-background color photo without a hat to the vehicle management office to cancel the application and handle the renewal in person.
I just renewed my driver's license through the Traffic Management 12123 App, and the whole process was quite convenient. After submitting the application, I had to wait for the vehicle management office to review the materials, which usually takes one or two days. Then, the document production phase begins, which may take another one or two days. As for the mailing time, since I live in the city, I used EMS, and it took about three to four days to receive it. The total time taken was five to seven days, but this also depends on your location—for example, a friend in the suburbs waited a little over a week. It's advisable to double-check the address before applying to avoid delays in return delivery. The app allows you to check the progress in real-time; I checked it every day, and seeing that it was shipped put my mind at ease. Applying at least one week in advance is the safest bet, especially during peak workdays when processing may be slower. Keep your phone accessible during the mailing process, as the courier will contact you for delivery.
