Visit the service window of the local vehicle management office to obtain and properly fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Submit the required documents and the completed "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" at the service window of the local vehicle management office to receive a driver's license service acceptance receipt. Pay the processing fee using a POS machine or at any branch of China Construction Bank with the driver's license service acceptance receipt. The processing time is three working days. When collecting the new license, you will need the driver's license service acceptance receipt, the original driver's license, and the identity proof of the person collecting it.
Oh, my driver's license just expired a month ago, and I was a bit anxious when I found out while on a business trip in Shanghai. I quickly checked and learned that I could directly renew it within one year of expiration without retaking the test, which was a relief. So, I went to the local traffic police station with my original ID card, expired driver's license, a one-inch white-background photo, and a simple medical checkup proving I was physically fit. The whole process went smoothly—I queued up, filled out a form, paid a small fee of a few dozen yuan, and got the new license in a few days. A reminder to everyone: renew it early to avoid affecting your driving. You can also book an appointment online to save time. Renewing it in another city isn’t much different from renewing it locally—just pay extra attention to the details of the required materials.
I encountered the same issue a few days ago. My license had been expired for a month back in my hometown, but I was too busy with work in Beijing to go back. I immediately went to the Haidian Vehicle Management Office to inquire. They told me to bring my old driver's license, a copy of my ID card, two photos, and a medical examination report proving my vision is qualified. The whole process was quite fast—just book an appointment online to avoid long queues. After paying the fee, the new license was delivered to my home in about five days. Make sure all your materials are complete, especially updating your address accurately if it's in a different location. It's advisable to set a reminder to avoid expiration affecting safe driving. It's also best to bring a familiar friend along for reference.
