Extending your driver's license is quite straightforward. I did it through the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After logging into my account, I found the 'License Extension' option under the driver's license services section. Following the prompts, I uploaded photos of my ID card, driver's license information, and the latest white-background ID photo, then filled in the mailing address. If you prefer to handle it in person at the vehicle management office, remember to bring the original and a copy of your ID card, the original driver's license, and three one-inch white-background photos. You'll need to fill out an application form on-site. An important reminder: you must apply within 90 days before the expiration date, and the extension can last from 1 to 3 years. During the extension period, driving is strictly prohibited, as it would be considered unlicensed driving. Lastly, I recommend choosing the mailing option for a more time-saving and hassle-free process.
