How to Check the Validity Period of a Driver's License?
1 Answers
To check the validity period of a driver's license, you can calculate it based on the issuance date printed on the license. For a newly issued driver's license, the validity period is 6 years. That is, the 6 years starting from the issuance date is the validity period of the driver's license. Validity periods of a driver's license: The validity periods of a driver's license are divided into 6 years, 10 years, and long-term. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period, the driver's license will be renewed with a 10-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, the driver's license will be renewed with a long-term validity period. Notes when the driver's license expires: You should renew and inspect the driver's license within 90 days before the expiration date. The driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing location or elsewhere 90 days before the expiration date.
