2 Answers
Driver's license transfer back to the local area can be done through the following methods: 1. Method one: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" as required. 2. Method two: Submit the original and photocopy of the applicant's identity proof. If applying through an agent, also submit the original and photocopy of the agent's identity proof. 3. Method three: Provide the original driver's license issued by another province or city. 4. Method four: If the applicant fails to submit the "Physical Condition Certificate" as required, they must also submit the original "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a county-level or above medical institution, or a military or armed police force medical institution at the regimental level or above. For those holding a special small automatic passenger vehicle driving permit for the disabled, they must submit the original "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a medical institution designated by the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Health Department.
I just transferred my driver's license back to my local area. As a beginner, I was a bit worried it would be complicated, but it turned out to be quite simple. First, prepare the required documents: original ID card, driver's license booklet, and proof of local address such as household registration or temporary residence permit. Don’t forget to bring a few one-inch white background photos. Then, go to the local vehicle management office to queue up for the application—weekdays are less crowded. Fill out a transfer application form, and after the staff verifies your documents, they might conduct an on-site physical exam, mainly checking your vision, which is very simple. After submission, pay a processing fee of about 10 yuan, and your new license will be ready in a few days. The whole process took me less than an hour. The benefits of transferring are huge—it’s much more convenient for handling traffic violations or renewals without having to travel back to the original location. I recommend calling ahead or checking the local vehicle management office’s requirements online to avoid missing anything. Safety first—don’t delay, get it done early for peace of mind.
