How many years is the first driver's license renewal?
1 Answers
The validity period of the first obtained driver's license is 6 years. Materials required for driver's license renewal upon expiration: Prepare 2 one-inch photos and a medical examination certificate. One photo should be affixed to the upper right corner of the medical examination form, and the other should be kept for the new license. Bring your ID card and driver's license to the license office, fill out the renewal application form, then submit the documents, medical examination certificate, and renewal application form to the staff, pay the processing fee, and wait to receive the new license. Before renewal, check if there are any unprocessed traffic violations. If there are, they must be handled first; otherwise, the renewal will not be processed. Plan the renewal time reasonably to avoid expiration. If the license expires and you are caught by traffic police, you will be fined but not penalized with points. It is best to have the photos and medical examination for renewal processed directly at the traffic police office, as self-prepared materials may not meet the requirements, leading to delays for retaking photos or redoing the medical examination. Renewal is usually completed on the spot, but in some large cities, it may take a few days, though it should not exceed 15 days. You will be notified to collect the new license. Within 15 days after the end of the scoring cycle, you must undergo a medical examination at a county-level or higher hospital and submit the results to the local traffic police branch for archiving.
