2 Answers
Methods for renewing an expired motorcycle driver's license include renewal at the vehicle management office, renewal via the "Traffic Management 12123" app, and renewal at "Police-Medical-Post" service points. Vehicle Management Office Renewal Process: The motor vehicle driver must 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 upon approval. Renewal via the "Traffic Management 12123" App: Download the "Traffic Management 12123" app, then select Service Center -- Expired License Renewal Service -- and fill in the required information. The new license is generally delivered by mail. Visit a "Police-Medical-Post" service point at a postal office to complete the renewal process. The entire procedure, from registration and medical examination to the production of the new license, takes only about half an hour. Currently, this service is only available in a few cities, such as Hangzhou.
Last year, I just renewed my motorcycle driver's license, and the whole process went quite smoothly. I started preparing one month before the license expired, first checking the validity period to confirm there were 30 days left. Then, I downloaded the Traffic Management 12123 app to schedule an appointment to avoid wasting time in queues. I went to the hospital for a simple medical checkup, got the qualified report, which cost just a few dozen yuan. The required materials included the original ID card, the old driver's license, and two 1-inch white background photos. I made extra copies in advance just in case. At the vehicle management office, I filled out a form and paid a little over 20 yuan in fees. The new license was processed in about 15 minutes. A reminder to everyone: don’t procrastinate. A friend of mine forgot to renew his license, got fined 500 yuan when checked while riding, and it caused a lot of inconvenience. After renewing the license, I felt much more at ease, and every ride became more confident.
