How long will a motorcycle driver's license be revoked if it is not reviewed annually?

Motorcycle driver's licenses will be automatically revoked after three inspection cycles without annual review. Does a motorcycle driver's license require annual inspection: Motorcycle driver's licenses do not require annual review; they only need to be renewed upon expiration. For motorcycles under 4 years old, inspection is required every 2 years; for those over 4 years old, inspection is required annually. Handling an expired driver's license: If a motor vehicle driver's license is revoked but not more than two years, the driver can regain driving eligibility by passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Additionally, if the driver's license is within its validity period or has expired for less than one year, the driver can also regain eligibility by submitting a physical condition certificate.
I've been riding motorcycles for twenty years and have seen many friends whose licenses were revoked because they forgot to renew them. According to regulations, if a motorcycle license is not renewed within one year after its expiration, it will be revoked by the traffic management authorities. That one-year period starts from the expiration date of the license. For example, if my license has a six-year validity period and I don’t renew it at the DMV for a full year after the expiration date, it automatically becomes invalid. Once revoked, riding without a valid license is considered unlicensed driving, and if caught, you could face a fine of several hundred yuan and possibly have your vehicle impounded. It’s best to renew the license within 90 days before expiration to avoid extra hassle. During renewal, a simple medical check-up is required, including vision and hearing tests. I renewed mine before the expiration last year, and the process was smooth—just bring your ID card and photos. I recommend setting a phone reminder to avoid procrastinating like my friends did, only to regret it after revocation. Retaking the license exam is time-consuming; from the written test to the road test, it takes at least two weeks without a ride.
