How many years after the first six-year renewal is the next renewal?
1 Answers
The first renewal of a driver's license is valid for 6 years. If no 12-point deduction occurs within these 6 years, the second renewal will be valid for 10 years. If the driver has not accumulated 12 points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the license, they will be issued a driver's license valid for 10 years. If the driver again has no 12-point deductions in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, they will finally be issued a long-term valid driver's license. The driver should bring the required materials to the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The office will process the renewal within one working day upon approval. Besides applying at the vehicle management office, renewal can also be done through the following methods: Renewal via the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Download the app, select Service Center -- Expiration Renewal Service -- fill in the required information. The new license is usually delivered by mail. Visit a police-medical-post service point at a postal office for renewal. The process, from registration and health check to the production of the new license, takes only half an hour. Currently, this service is available only in a few cities, such as Hangzhou.
