Is a medical examination certificate required for voluntary downgrade of a driver's license?
1 Answers
No medical examination is required. For a downgrade and replacement of a driver's license due to accumulating 12 penalty points, no medical condition certificate needs to be submitted. However, a medical condition certificate is required when applying for a downgrade and replacement due to changes in physical condition. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," drivers are only required to submit a medical condition certificate when handling the following procedures: 1. Initial application for a driver's license or application for additional permitted driving categories. 2. Replacement of a driver's license held from the military, armed police, or foreign driver's licenses, or replacement upon expiration. 3. Voluntary application for a downgrade and replacement of a driver's license due to changes in physical condition. 4. Drivers aged 70 or above must submit a medical condition certificate annually; drivers holding a permit for small automatic transmission vehicles for the disabled must submit a medical condition certificate every three years.
