How to Renew a Motorcycle Driver's License?

[McKayden]

Motorcycle driver's license renewal process is as follows: The motor vehicle driver should bring the required materials to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Materials required for license renewal: Bring two copies of ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without hats, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free physical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). Renewal in other locations and other methods: In addition to applying for renewal at the vehicle management office, you can also apply for renewal through the following methods: Renewal via the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expired License Renewal Service -- Fill in the information. The new license is usually delivered by mail. Go to the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at the post office to process the renewal. It only takes half an hour from registration, physical examination to the production of the new license. Currently, only a few cities have opened this service, such as Hangzhou.

I just went to renew my motorcycle license, and the whole process was quite smooth. You can start the process three months in advance. Remember to bring your original ID card and old license, and get a physical health certificate from the hospital near the DMV. The vision requirement is still a naked-eye vision of 4.9 or above. There are self-service photo machines on-site where you can take your ID photo directly—just wear dark-colored clothes. If you bring your own photo, it must be a one-inch white background photo. You can also make an appointment via the 12123 Traffic Management APP, but for the first time, it’s recommended to go in person as staff can guide you through form filling to avoid mistakes. The fee is 10 yuan, and you can get your new license in half an hour. Don’t forget that the old license will be collected. If it’s over a year past the expiration date, you’ll have to retake the written test (Subject 1), so don’t delay.
