How Long Does It Take to Replace a Driver's License?
1 Answers
It takes about 1 day to replace a lost driver's license. To replace a driver's license, you need to bring relevant documents to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or to another vehicle management office outside the issuing jurisdiction to apply for services such as renewal upon expiration, renewal beyond the specified age, replacement due to damage, replacement due to changes in driver information, replacement due to changes in physical condition, or replacement due to loss. Below is relevant information: 1. With more standardized internal management at vehicle management offices, continuous improvements in online and technical systems such as the motor vehicle registration and driver's license management systems, and optimized adjustments to work positions at vehicle management offices, the conditions are now in place to handle these services within a shorter timeframe. The processing time for issuing and replacing driver's licenses has been reduced to 1 day, making it convenient for applicants who have lost their driver's licenses to promptly obtain a replacement. 2. Replacing a new driver's license also requires payment of a processing fee, which may vary slightly depending on the location. Upon notification from the vehicle management office, the driver can go to the office's service window with their original ID card and payment receipt to collect the new driver's license. Once a new driver's license is issued, even if the old one is found later, it can no longer be used.
