How to Renew a Driver's License That Has Expired Within One Year?
2 Answers
Visit the vehicle management office to retake the subject one exam. If you pass the exam, the revoked status of your driver's license will be lifted, allowing you to proceed with renewing your driver's license normally. If you fail the subject one exam, you can continue to register for the exam until you pass, after which you can apply for license renewal.
Last year, I only remembered to renew my driver's license after it had expired. Fortunately, it was still within the one-year grace period, and the process went quite smoothly. I brought my ID card, old driver's license, medical examination report, and a one-inch white background photo, and went straight to the DMV. The medical check-up was done at a designated hospital nearby, with simple tests for vision, color blindness, and hearing, costing just a few dozen yuan. After submitting the documents, the staff processed them quickly, and I could get the new license on the spot. Renewing within one year of expiration doesn't require retaking the test, but if it exceeds one year, you'll have to take the theory test again. I recommend setting a phone reminder to avoid procrastinating like I did. Also, always pay attention to the validity of your medical examination to ensure driving safety and avoid unnecessary travel delays.
