How many days before expiration can a C1 driver's license be renewed?

[VanElizabeth]

Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations Penalty Details": Motor vehicle drivers shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of their motor vehicle driver's license. If the driver's license is expired, traffic police may impose a fine upon discovery, but no points will be deducted. There is also a latest deadline for license renewal. If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be renewed through the normal process; if expired for one to three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be reobtained by passing the subject one exam; if expired for more than three years, the license will be canceled. Relevant matters for renewing the driver's license upon expiration: The driver's license can be applied for renewal within 90 days of its validity period. You can apply for renewal at the local vehicle management office or online. After the motor vehicle driver's license is replaced, the original license becomes invalid and cannot be used again. It is necessary to properly keep the driver's related information on the motor vehicle driver's license and not discard it randomly, otherwise, information leakage may easily cause problems in the use of the motor vehicle driver's license. To process at the vehicle management office business hall, the following materials need to be prepared: Original and copy of the driver's license. Original and copy of the ID card. Driver's physical condition certificate. Two or more one-inch white background color bareheaded front photos. For those applying for a special small automatic passenger car for the disabled, a physical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority should be submitted. Processing procedure: Undergo a physical examination at a medical institution with health examination qualifications, such as a secondary or higher hospital, township health center, community health service center, or health examination center, to obtain the "Driver's Physical Condition Certificate". Bring the aforementioned materials to the vehicle management office business hall. Receive the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", fill it out, and submit it along with the relevant materials to the staff for review. After approval, pay the processing fee. Once the business is completed, wait for 10-30 minutes to receive the new driver's license. Notes for driver's license renewal: Before renewal, ensure that all violations and other issues are resolved, fines are paid, and points are cleared; otherwise, the vehicle management office will not issue the renewal. If during the validity period of the driver's license, any scoring cycle records a full 12 points, a license with a longer validity period cannot be issued. The validity period of a driver's license is 6 years, 10 years, and long-term validity. During the probation period of the driver's license, i.e., the first year, if 12 points are deducted, the probation qualification for the permitted driving model will be canceled, and the driver must pass all subject exams again to obtain the license. Photos and physical examination certificates required for renewal can be brought by yourself. If you are worried that self-prepared materials may not meet the standards, you can directly process them at the traffic police team's license hall to avoid delays.

I've been driving for almost twenty years and have plenty of experience with license renewal. The C1 driver's license is generally valid for six years, so you need to keep track of the expiration date. The rule is that you should apply for a new license within 90 days before it expires—don't wait until the last day. If you forget, you can still renew it within the first year after expiration, but the traffic police might issue a warning or impose a fine. If it's been over a year, you'll have to retake the written test (Subject One), which is a hassle. It's best to set a reminder on your phone calendar and take action three months before expiration. The renewal process is convenient—you can go to the DMV or use an online app, just bring your ID and old license. Safety comes first—if your license is invalid and you get into an accident, insurance won't cover it, so stay on top of things.

I'm quite familiar with the driver's license renewal process. For a C1 license, it's valid for six years, and the best time to renew is within 90 days before expiration. If you miss the deadline, don't worry—you can still apply for renewal within the first year after expiration. However, if it's been over twelve months past expiration, you're out of luck and will need to retake the theoretical exam. I recommend noting the expiration date on the license's supplementary page or in your phone's memo app, and scheduling the renewal one or two months in advance. The procedure is straightforward: submit basic documents, a medical report (if required), and it can often be completed the same day if processed quickly. Delaying renewal can lead to hefty fines, demerit points, and even leaving your car idle. Regularly checking your license status ensures worry-free travel.
