How to handle an expired C1 driver's license?

If expired within 1 year, bring the original ID card and its copy, the original driver's license, three one-inch white-background color photos, and a medical examination form to the vehicle management office for processing. If expired between 1-3 years, you can apply to take the subject one exam at the local vehicle management office. Passing the exam will restore your driver's license. If expired for more than 3 years, you must take all subjects of the driver's license exam as if applying for a new one. After passing, the cancellation will be lifted, or you can choose to reapply for a new driver's license. According to the road traffic safety violation codes and penalty scoring standards, driving with an expired driver's license will result in a fine.

Handling an expired driver's license is quite simple. First, go to the medical examination center at a hospital for a physical check-up, bring your ID card and a few one-inch photos, and prepare your old driver's license. If it's expired for less than a year, you can directly apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office by queuing up, filling out a form, and paying a small fee. If it's expired for over a year, you'll need to retake the subject one exam. Last time, I delayed until 11 months after expiration and still got my new license smoothly. Avoid driving during the process to prevent fines, and it's advisable to keep track of the validity period of your documents to avoid carelessness. The medical report must meet health standards, ensuring your vision is up to par to save time. Service windows at the vehicle management office might have long queues, so go early or make an online appointment to save effort. In short, don't delay too long to avoid unnecessary hassle.

Buddy, never drive with an expired license to handle the renewal - you'll get fined. I helped a friend with an expired license renewal before and it was easy. First, go to a community hospital or designated center for a quick medical check to get a health certificate. Bring your ID copy and photos, then apply at the local DMV window. Fill out forms, pay fees, and you'll usually get the new license in about a week. If it's only expired for a few months, it's not a big deal, but don't risk driving. Reminder: double-check your address during renewal to avoid mailing issues. I also recommend setting a phone reminder to check the expiration date regularly. Driving without a valid license can lead to serious legal consequences - fines of hundreds or points deduction aren't worth it. Handle it ASAP for safety.

Handling an expired driver's license is super easy. Just download the traffic management app on your phone, check the nearest medical examination point, make an appointment, and get it done quickly. The cost is usually around 100 yuan. Remember to bring your old driver's license and ID card, then go directly to the vehicle management office to queue up and submit the materials. If it's expired for less than a year, the replacement is free. Don't delay too long—if it exceeds that, you'll have to retake the test, which is troublesome. It's recommended to prepare the medical examination report a week in advance to ensure there are no issues and avoid rework. Online appointment services are efficient and convenient.
