How to Renew a Driver's License?
2 Answers
First, go to a designated hospital for a physical examination and obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate." Click on the "Renewal of Expired License" option in the "Driver's License" service module to proceed with the application. If the license has been expired for more than 11 months but less than 1 year, you need to renew it at the vehicle management office where it was originally issued. Required documents include the driver's ID card and a copy, the driver's license, the physical condition certificate, and a photo receipt. Additionally, before renewing the driver's license, ensure that all traffic violations are resolved and the penalty points are cleared. Otherwise, the renewal will not be approved.
When my driver's license was about to expire, I rushed to renew it—what a hassle! First, I had to bring my ID card, old license, and a recent white-background photo to a designated hospital for a physical exam, checking vision, hearing, etc. Remember to book an appointment a week in advance to save time. Then, I headed straight to the local DMV, filled out the application form on-site, submitted the materials, and queued up to pay a fee of around 50 yuan. The whole process took half a day, and it's best to go on a weekday morning when it's less crowded. A reminder: you must renew your license within 90 days before it expires, or you may face fines and even affect your driving record. I prefer to get things done early to avoid last-minute issues. Oh, and many cities now offer online appointment services—you can check the official app or website to save yourself a trip. Always stay updated on traffic laws, and remember, safe driving is what really matters.
