Driver's license renewal can be processed 3 months in advance. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the 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". Renewal process: The motor vehicle driver submits the required materials to the vehicle management office of the issuing authority to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will complete the renewal procedures within 1 working day after approval. Required materials for renewal: Bring two copies of ID card, two recent 1-inch bareheaded color photos, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free physical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). Driver's license validity period: Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, a driver's license with a ten-year validity period will be issued upon renewal; if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period of the driver's license, a long-term valid driver's license will be issued upon renewal.
