How many days after the expiration of the driver's license can the replacement not exceed?

After the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license, the replacement must not exceed 3 months, otherwise it will be punished according to the law. The following is the relevant information: According to the latest "Administrative Measures for Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses of the People's Republic of China", Chapter 4: Article: Within 3 months before the expiration of the driver's license, the holder should go to the vehicle management office to replace the license. The vehicle management office should conduct a physical examination, review whether traffic violations and accidents have been resolved, and issue a new driver's license if the review is passed. In special circumstances where the license cannot be replaced on time, an application for early or delayed replacement should be made in advance. If no application is made in advance and the replacement exceeds the validity period, the license will be replaced after punishment according to the law. During the replacement period, the holder is obliged to receive traffic regulations education. Extended information: The traffic police department reminds that if the motor vehicle driver's license is not replaced for more than one year after expiration, or drivers over 60 years old fail to submit a physical condition certificate within one year after the end of a scoring cycle, the license will be revoked. In addition, driving a motor vehicle on the road with an expired driver's license will be punished as driving without a license, with a fine and administrative detention of up to 15 days.

I remember there's a 1-year grace period after the driver's license expires. Last time, my cousin remembered to renew it 8 months after expiration, and he just went to the DMV for a physical exam and photo to get it done. But let me remind you of three things: First, if it's over 1 year but less than 3 years, you'll have to retake the written test (Subject 1), so don't procrastinate to that point. Second, even within the 1-year period, driving during this time is considered unlicensed driving if caught, and you could be fined 200-2,000 RMB if apprehended. Third, before renewing, you must settle all traffic violations and prepare a 1-inch white-background photo along with a physical examination report. Now you can also make an appointment via the 12123 APP, but for the first renewal, it's still recommended to visit the DMV in person.

I totally get the driver's license expiration thing! When I first started working, I was so busy that I completely forgot about it. By the time I realized, it had already been expired for 9 months. I nervously drove to the DMV, but the staff said it could be renewed normally within one year. The on-site physical exam was actually super quick - just an eye test and color blindness check, done in ten minutes. The most time-consuming part was waiting in line for the photo. But here's a special warning: never risk driving during the expiration period. Last year, a friend got pulled over with an expired license - it got temporarily confiscated on the spot, plus a 1000 yuan fine and a half-day traffic law class at the transport bureau.

Three key deadlines to remember: You can still drive for 30 days after your driver's license expires (this is called the renewal period); if it's over 30 days but less than 1 year, it's in the grace period and can still be remedied; exceeding 1 year is risky, and if it's less than 3 years, you'll need to retake the theoretical exam. However, personal experience tells you that going to renew the license in the first two days after expiration is the most troublesome! The queues are especially long because everyone is rushing to meet the deadline. It is recommended to start the process 90 days in advance. Nowadays, many hospitals can conduct driving medical exams and upload them online. After applying via the 12123 APP, you can directly go to the DMV to collect your new license, and the whole process takes only 20 minutes.
