Access the initial interface of 'Traffic Management 12123' through your mobile phone, and log in using your ID number by tapping the top left corner. Select the 'Home' option, then among the various services on the page, choose and click on 'Driver's License Extension'. Select the extension type that applies to you. If it's for license renewal, tap the first box to proceed; for review extension, select the subsequent box. Enter the driver's license number you wish to extend in the blank box, then click 'Bind' to complete the extension. The points will also be clearly displayed.

Last month, I just helped my cousin with the renewal of his overdue driver's license. First, log in to the 12123 account and click on the driver's license renewal function. If the license is overdue for less than 1 year, the system will automatically verify the physical examination information. If it exceeds 1 year, you need to go to a designated hospital for a physical exam and upload the report. Prepare photos of the front and back of your ID card and an electronic version of a white-background ID photo. Note that no jewelry or glasses should be worn in the photo. There is a fee of 10 yuan for the processing cost, plus an additional 20 yuan for mailing if you choose that option. However, if the license has been overdue for more than 3 years, it will be directly revoked, and you will have to reapply for the exam. It is recommended to apply in the morning for faster review speed.

Last time at the repair shop, I happened to hear the mechanic mention this. If your driver's license has expired and you want to renew it through the 12123 platform, you must first settle any outstanding traffic violation fines, otherwise the system will get stuck. For licenses expired less than a year, you can handle it directly online by selecting the 'lost renewal' or 'expired renewal' option. If the medical examination report is available online, there's no need to bring a paper copy. However, if it's been over a year, you must retake the medical exam. A key reminder: don't take the electronic photo at the medical examination site, as the lighting often fails to meet standards. It's better to take your ID photo at a photo studio in advance and upload it to avoid rework.

As a busy mom who often forgets important document dates, I recommend calling 122 first to inquire about the local DMV if you discover your driver's license has expired. Currently, the 12123 app allows self-service renewal for licenses expired within 1 year - the option is the fourth item under the Driver's License Services section. Pay attention to photo requirements: your head should occupy two-thirds of the frame, and avoid wearing light-colored clothes. After approval, remember to screenshot and save the case number for tracking delivery. For licenses expired over 1 year, visit the DMV directly with a medical examination form from the hospital - you can get your new license in about half an hour.
