How to Renew an Expiring Driver's License in Changchun?
2 Answers
Within ninety days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license, you can apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at any other vehicle management office. Below is the relevant information for renewal: Relevant information: Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above. Renewal process: When going to the vehicle management office, prepare in advance your ID card and its copy, driver's license, medical certificate of physical condition, photo receipt, and other required materials. Fill out the driver's license application form, and after submitting all the materials, the renewal process can be completed.
I just renewed my driver's license in Changchun. Simply put, get it done within 90 days before expiration—don't delay. Step 1: Prepare materials—bring your original ID card, old driver's license, and two recent 1-inch white-background photos. Step 2: Get a medical checkup at a designated hospital, usually a top-tier hospital in Changchun, testing vision, color recognition, etc., costing around 20 yuan. Step 3: Head straight to the Changchun Vehicle Management Bureau (DMV), like the one in the Auto Development District—go at 9 AM to avoid crowds. Take a number, queue up, fill out the application form, submit materials, and pay a processing fee of about 10 yuan. Finally, wait half an hour to get your new license. Remember, driving with an expired license carries big risks—a 200-yuan fine and points deducted, and if an accident happens, insurance won’t cover it. I recommend booking an appointment online in advance (visit the Changchun DMV website) to save time and effort. Renewing isn’t hard—the key is acting promptly so you can drive with peace of mind.
