Getting a driver's license renewal indeed requires a medical examination form, as I've personally experienced. Last month when I went to renew mine, I first went to a designated hospital for checks including basic items like vision and hearing tests. The doctor filled out and stamped the form. Then I took my ID card, old license, and this form to the DMV for processing. Without the medical form, the staff would directly refuse to accept the application. The whole process isn't overly complicated, but you must follow the requirements. I think the medical check is necessary as it helps monitor drivers' health issues in time, such as declining vision or chronic illnesses affecting driving safety. Some friends forgot the medical exam and ended up making a wasted trip while delaying their license renewal. Nowadays many places support online medical exam appointments, saving time and effort. Overall, following the rules ensures personal safety and helps prevent traffic accidents.
