2 Answers
Driver's license can be renewed 90 days in advance. According to Article 35 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses, motor vehicle drivers should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license. When applying, they must fill out the motor vehicle driver's license application form and submit the following documents and certificates: 1. The identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; 2. The motor vehicle driver's license; 3. A medical certificate of physical condition issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above. According to the provisions of the Administrative Measures for Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses of the People's Republic of China, if the renewal period is exceeded by more than one year, the vehicle management office shall cancel the motor vehicle driver's license and note it in the registration records.
Renewing a driver's license can be applied for 90 days in advance, which I learned from official regulations and find quite reasonable. Think about it, 90 days gives us enough buffer to avoid the rush during peak periods. I recommend starting early because driving with an expired license may result in point deductions and fines, and in severe cases, even license suspension. When renewing, you need to bring your ID card, old driver's license, and photos, and sometimes a medical examination certificate is required. The cost is not high, but queuing may take time. Remember to check the validity period of your documents and set a phone reminder for convenience. Don't wait until the last minute and panic. Safe driving starts with compliant documents, and developing this habit makes driving much more reassuring.
