Ninety days before the expiration date: Within ninety days before the expiration of the driver's license, you should apply for renewal at the local vehicle management office. If the driver's license is not renewed for more than one year after the expiration date, the driver's license will be revoked. Materials required for renewing a driver's license: To renew an expired driver's license, you need to bring your ID card, driver's license, a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above medical institution, and 2 one-inch photos to the vehicle management office for renewal. The renewal process is as follows: Prepare 2 one-inch photos, a medical examination certificate, bring your ID card and driver's license, go to the license processing hall, fill out the renewal application form, then submit the documents, medical examination certificate, and renewal application form to the staff, and pay the processing fee. Before renewing, check if there are any unprocessed traffic violations. If there are, they must be handled first; otherwise, the renewal will not be processed. Validity period of a driver's license: Article 22 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates: The validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years. Article 26 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring period during the 6-year validity period of the driver's license, a 10-year validity driver's license will be issued upon renewal; if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring period during the 10-year validity period, a long-term valid driver's license will be issued upon renewal.
