How long does it take to renew a newly obtained driver's license?
1 Answers
A newly obtained driver's license must be renewed after 6 years. According to relevant regulations, if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, they will be issued a driver's license with a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term valid driver's license. The driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license. When applying, they must fill out an application form and submit the following documents: 1. The driver's identity proof; 2. The driver's license; 3. A medical certificate issued by a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution. For those applying for a special small automatic passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority is required.
