How to Replace a Motorcycle Driving License?
2 Answers
Bring your ID card, driving license, and three passport photos to the designated medical examination center assigned by the issuing vehicle management office for a physical check-up. Obtain the "Physical Condition Certificate" and submit it along with the application for license replacement. If the license is not replaced within one year after expiration, it will be revoked.
Last time I renewed my motorcycle registration certificate, the process went smoothly. First, I prepared my original ID card and a copy, along with a side-view photo of the motorcycle on a white background (45x35mm in size). Don't just take a random phone photo—go to a photo studio to get it done properly for convenience. Then, I went to the local vehicle management office early to avoid long queues. After taking a number, filling out the application form, and submitting the materials, the staff checked the vehicle details for accuracy. After paying a fee of around 30 yuan, I received the new certificate in about half an hour. Remember to check the expiration date of your registration certificate in advance and renew it before it expires—don't delay, or you might face point deductions and fines if caught driving with an expired one. If the motorcycle photo is outdated or damaged, you'll need to retake it, which can waste time. I once had to make an extra trip because of this. If the certificate is lost, report it to the police first for a loss record before reapplying—safety comes first to avoid information leaks. After renewal, driving feels more secure with complete and legal documents, so you won't panic during roadside checks.
