I recently renewed my driver's license online for the first time, and the whole process was actually quite convenient. I downloaded the official app "Traffic Management 12123" on my phone, took a photo to verify my identity when registering an account to ensure real-name authentication. I got stuck a bit at the step of uploading photos, which required a standard white-background ID photo. My first photo was rejected due to lighting issues, and I had to retake it before it passed the review. Then I confirmed that my driver's license was in good condition, selected the health declaration, and paid the 10 yuan processing fee—super fast with WeChat Pay. After choosing the mail delivery service, I received my new license at home in a week. The whole process was done at home, saving me the trouble of going to the DMV. The app also provided progress reminders, making it especially suitable for students or office workers like me—saving time and being eco-friendly. I feel this method is so smart; I’ll prioritize online renewal in the future. Preparing a qualified photo in advance is key to avoid delays like I experienced.
