How many times does a driver's license need to be replaced?
1 Answers
First replacement after 6 years, second after 10 years. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the initial validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years, with the first year being a probationary period. After 6 years, the second replacement license will be valid for 10 years, and after 10 years, subsequent replacements will be permanently valid. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their current license. There are two types of expiration for a driver's license: 1. Annual inspection expiration: Failure to undergo the annual inspection on time results in the expiration of the previous year's inspection validity. Missing the annual inspection means the vehicle has not passed the required annual or biennial inspection. Vehicles without a valid inspection are not allowed on the road and will be penalized if driven. 2. License certificate expiration: This type of expiration is equivalent to not having a driver's license at all. Vehicles without a valid driver's license are also prohibited from driving on the road and will face the same penalties.
