Methods for renewing an expired driver's license in a different location after 6 years: 1. You can authorize someone else to handle the renewal on your behalf by sending your ID card, driver's license, medical examination certificate, etc., to relatives or friends for assistance. 2. You can directly apply for the renewal at the local vehicle management office in the different location. The vehicle owner can bring their ID card, driver's license, and health certificate to the local vehicle management office for renewal. If the driver's license has been expired for less than a year, it can be renewed following the normal procedure. If it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, you will need to pass the subject one test before the renewal can proceed. A driver's license expired for three years or more will be invalidated, and the vehicle owner is prohibited from driving on the road during the period of license invalidity.
Last year, I renewed my driver's license in another city before it expired, and the whole process was quite simple. You can start the process 90 days before your license expires, no need to return to your hometown DMV. First, go to a designated local hospital for a health check-up, which includes vision tests and takes about 20 minutes, costing 30 yuan for the medical report. Then, bring your original ID card and a copy, your old driver's license, and a recent one-inch white-background photo to the DMV to fill out the application form. It's recommended to use the "Traffic Management 12123" APP to make an appointment in advance to reduce waiting time. On the day I submitted my materials, they were approved on the spot, and I received my new license immediately, with a total cost of around 100 yuan. Don't wait until it expires to renew, otherwise, if caught driving with an expired license, you risk 12 penalty points and a fine of 2000 yuan. Also, make sure all required materials are ready to avoid multiple trips, so organize them in advance in a card holder for convenience. The whole process can be completed in half a day with proper planning, so just relax.
