How often should a newly obtained driver's license be renewed?

Apply for a driver's license renewal after six years. The first renewal is at the expiration of the initial validity period, and if there is no record of accumulating 12 penalty points within the 6-year validity period, the license can be renewed again, this time for a 10-year period. However, if there is a record of accumulating 12 penalty points, the renewed license will have a 6-year validity period. Renewal regulations: If the motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, a motor vehicle driver's license with a ten-year validity period will be issued upon renewal; if the motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license will be issued upon renewal. Materials required for driver's license renewal: The driver's ID card and its copy, driver's license, physical condition certificate, photo receipt, etc. For out-of-town renewals, residence or temporary residence documents are not required. In addition, before renewing the driver's license, any traffic violations must be resolved, and the penalty points must be cleared before the renewal can proceed; otherwise, the renewal will not be approved.
When I first got my driver's license, I was also quite curious about this question. I remember the instructor said that a new driver's license is valid for 6 years, so if you've just passed the test, you don't need to renew it within 6 years. About 90 days before it expires, you should go to the DMV to renew it. Now that I've been driving for two years, I think this arrangement is quite reasonable: when you're young, you drive less, so you don't need to worry about it often. When renewing, you need to bring your ID card, a recent photo, and a medical examination report from the hospital to prove that you are physically fit. Once you have all the materials ready, it takes about half an hour to get it done. Don't wait until it expires to renew it, or you might be fined. Pay attention when driving and don't accumulate 12 penalty points, so your new license may be extended to 10 years of validity. After all, it's a small matter, just enjoy the fun of driving.
