How to Replace a Driver's License?
2 Answers
After registration by the staff, undergo a physical examination. Upon completion, you will receive two forms, one of which requires a photo to be attached. Take the two physical examination forms, original and photocopy of your ID card, and the old driver's license, then wait in the hall for your number to be called for processing. Submit the materials at the original processing window, after which the staff will print the new driver's license.
I just got my new driver's license not long ago, and the whole process turned out to be much simpler than I expected. You need to prepare the materials in advance: original and photocopy of ID card, old driver's license, and one-inch bareheaded photo with white background. Remember to wear dark-colored clothes for the photo, and a more energetic-looking photo makes it easier to pass the review. Then comes the physical examination, mainly the vision test, which needs to reach above 4.9. If your vision is not good, wear glasses for the test. Nowadays, most people prefer to apply online using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After uploading the materials and paying a 10-yuan fee, the new license will be directly mailed to your home, which is very convenient. If you prefer offline processing, just go to the vehicle management office counter to fill out a form, take a number and queue up on the same day to get it done. A reminder: it's best to apply within 90 days in advance, don't wait until it expires and get caught driving without a license, which may result in a fine. For novice drivers like me, check the local policies before the first renewal, as some remote areas may require additional materials.
