How often should the supplementary page of a driver's license be replaced?
2 Answers
It should be replaced every 6 years. The following is a relevant introduction about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and people lacking these skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have acquired safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive on the road is the 'driver's license.' This indicates that a driver's license is a 'license of permission.' 2. Examination Content: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving), totaling three items. Before each subject test, an appointment must be made (special circumstances may be scheduled through the driving test green channel), and the test is taken after the appointment.
I've been driving for over a decade, using both the main page and supplementary page of my driver's license together. Honestly, the supplementary page doesn't seem to have any special replacement schedule. It's like a supporting document proving your driving record – just keep it with you and don't lose it. The supplementary page only gets automatically updated when the main license expires, with validity periods typically being six years, ten years, or permanent, depending on your age and initial issuance date when you first got the license. For example, mine is valid for ten years. Before expiration, I just go to the DMV to renew the entire license, and the supplementary page gets updated along with it. If the supplementary page gets water-damaged or torn during this period, you'll need to replace it too – costing about 50-60 yuan with a week's processing time. Don't delay if this happens, though minor issues can wait. Remember, the supplementary page records your traffic violation points, so keep it legible. During traffic stops, you must present the complete document for safety. I recommend checking the supplementary page's condition every six months.
