Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued within 90 days before the expiration of the current license. When applying, the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form' must be completed. Documents required for renewal: Bring two copies of ID card, two 1-inch recent color photos without hats, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). Renewal process: The motor vehicle driver should bring the required documents to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. In addition to applying for renewal at the vehicle management office, you can also apply for renewal through the following methods: Renewal via the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP. Download the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP, select Service Center -- Expiration Renewal Service -- Fill in the information. The new license is generally delivered by mail. Visit the 'Police-Medical-Post' service point at a post office for renewal processing. The entire process, from registration and medical examination to the production of the new license, takes only half an hour. Currently, only a few cities have opened this service, such as Hangzhou.
