How to Replace a Driver's License in a Different Location?

Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; a written statement for the loss of the motor vehicle driver's license. You need to bring the above-mentioned documents to the vehicle management office and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" and the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Replacement Application Form". After paying the relevant driver's license replacement fees, you can receive the new version of the driver's license.
Last time I renewed my driver's license in another city, it was super convenient using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Just register an account, log in, and select the 'out-of-city license renewal' option as prompted. You'll need to upload photos of both sides of your ID card and your original driver's license, plus a medical examination report—just get a quick check-up at any local hospital or designated center. After filling in your info, the APP automatically reviews it, and your new license gets mailed to you in a few days—no need to queue at the DMV. The fee is just a small processing charge of a few dozen yuan, and the best part is you don’t have to take time off work. It's perfect for frequent travelers like me. You can also use the APP to check for traffic violations—super handy. Just don’t miss the renewal deadline, or you’ll have to retake the written test, which is a hassle.
