How many days before and after the expiration of a driver's license is it not considered expired?
2 Answers
You can renew your driver's license within 1 year after its expiration. Here is the relevant information: 1. Overview: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driver's license," which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those who lack such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Driving without a license is prohibited. 2. Notes: The permission to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This indicates that obtaining a driver's license is a formal procedure that must be issued by a specialized authority.
As a veteran driver with over 30 years of experience, regarding the issue of driver's license expiration, the key point is that there is a one-year grace period after expiration. The driver's license is considered expired starting from the day its validity period ends, but if the time lapse isn't too long—for example, if you apply for a renewal at the vehicle management office within 365 days—the license won't be revoked and can still be used normally. Of course, there's no need to worry before the expiration date; every day within the validity period is legal. But don't delay too long; I recommend renewing it three months before expiration to avoid the risk of being fined if stopped by police. If you really forget, it's okay—just make sure to apply for a replacement within the one-year window.
