How to Handle an Expired Vehicle License?
2 Answers
If your vehicle license has expired, you need to participate in the motor vehicle inspection within 90 days before the expiration date. Bring the power of attorney, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the local inspection station for inspection. Upon passing the inspection, the deputy page of the vehicle license will be endorsed. For non-exempt vehicles, the owner must bring the power of attorney, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the motor vehicle inspection station for vehicle inspection. After passing the inspection, the inspection qualification mark can be directly applied for at the station. For vehicles exempt from inspection within 6 years, only the Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form, vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, and vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate need to be reviewed. The traffic safety violations and accident handling records will be checked. If everything complies with the regulations, the inspection mark will be issued, the deputy page of the vehicle license will be endorsed, and the Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form will be archived in the vehicle's records.
Last time I discovered my vehicle license had expired, which really worried me since driving without valid documents could lead to fines and safety concerns. I quickly checked the renewal process—usually you need to visit the DMV first, remembering to bring your ID, the old vehicle license, vehicle photos, and insurance documents. Any outstanding fines must be settled beforehand. Oh, and it’s best to confirm your car has passed the annual inspection; otherwise, you’ll need to complete that before renewing. The process is straightforward: fill out a form, submit the materials, pay a small fee, and wait for the new license. I’d remind everyone to set a reminder on their phone calendar to avoid forgetting the expiration date—it makes driving more secure and hassle-free.
