My driver's license had been valid for 6 years, so I renewed it online – super convenient! I used the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app: after downloading and logging into my account, I went straight to the service center and selected 'license renewal upon expiration.' When uploading ID info, make sure the photo is a standard white-background ID photo size – the system will verify it. The key step was scheduling a medical exam – the app lets you book appointments at nearby designated hospitals. The vision test and other checks took just over 10 minutes. After paying a small service fee, my new license was mailed home in about 3-5 days. The whole process was incredibly simple – no queues, no trip to the DMV. Just remember to clear any outstanding traffic violations first, otherwise the app will reject your application. I highly recommend trying online renewal – fast, secure, and user-friendly with step-by-step guidance perfect for first-timers. With online services this advanced now, I bet other procedures will follow suit soon.
