How to Handle Online Medical Examination for License Renewal?
3 Answers
To process the online license renewal service through the Traffic Management 12123 APP, you must first undergo a medical examination at a designated hospital (an authorized medical facility). Only after the hospital uploads your medical examination information can you apply for this service.
Last time I renewed my driver's license, I got the physical examination done at the community health service center, which was quite convenient. Just bring your ID card to register and say you need a driver's license physical. The doctor will check your vision, color blindness, and limb mobility. Remember to wear glasses with the correct prescription, as your corrected vision must meet the standard. If you pass the physical, the results will be uploaded to the traffic management system on the spot. By the way, the physical examination report is valid for three months, so you must apply for the license renewal on the Traffic Management 12123 APP within this period. I recommend avoiding the end-of-month rush; last time I went on a weekday morning and it only took 20 minutes. Most hospital physical examination departments can handle this, but it's best to call ahead to check if an appointment is needed.
I got it done at the self-service medical examination machine at the DMV, which was even faster than a hospital. Swipe your ID card to start the machine, follow the on-screen instructions to test your vision, color recognition, hearing, and measure your height, then take a photo and get the report on the spot. The whole process is guided by voice prompts, and you can retest if you make a mistake due to shaky hands. The best part is it's open 24/7, so you can stop by after work. But if you're severely nearsighted, remember to wear your glasses as the machine will prompt you to correct your vision with them. The medical examination fee is 50 yuan, payable by scanning a QR code, and it's all over in five minutes. These new devices are now available in many cities—just check your local traffic police's official WeChat account to find a service point.
