How Long Is a Driver's License Valid After Expiration?
1 Answers
Driver's licenses can be renewed up to 3 years after expiration. Normally, licenses should be renewed within three months before expiration. However, if renewal is not processed in time, it must not exceed 3 years, otherwise the license will be revoked. In such cases, individuals must reapply and pass all required tests to regain driving privileges. Below are the specific scenarios: 1. Expired for less than 1 year: The renewal can be processed through normal procedures; 2. Expired for more than 1 year but less than 3 years: The driver must pass the written test (Subject 1) at the vehicle management office before renewal can be processed; 3. Expired for more than 3 years: Even if an application is submitted to the traffic management department of the public security authority, the license will still be invalidated. At this point, there is no remedy, and the only option is to pay the fees and reapply for a driver's license.
