Renewing a driver's license requires a medical examination. Below are specific details about driver's license renewal: Processing time: Renewal can be processed within 90 days before the license expires.

If it has expired for more than one year but less than three years, you must pass the subject one exam to proceed with normal renewal. Required documents: Original ID card, original driver's license, one-inch white background photo, and physical condition certificate. Renewal locations: You can go to the nearest traffic police service point or process it online through the comprehensive traffic safety service management platform.
I just renewed my driver's license last month, and the process was quite straightforward. According to regulations, a medical examination report is usually required for renewal, especially for first-time applications or updates, as the government needs to confirm that you're physically fit to drive. The examination includes basic checks like vision and hearing tests, which can be done at designated hospitals or community centers without much cost or time. The vehicle management office here made it clear that the medical report must be submitted within its validity period; otherwise, the application will be rejected, causing delays. An additional reminder: for elderly drivers or those who haven't renewed their licenses for a long time, more frequent medical check-ups are required. This isn't unnecessary hassle—it's about ensuring road safety and preventing accidents due to health issues. Overall, it's best to check the local vehicle management office's requirements before renewal to avoid wasted trips, as regional policies sometimes have minor adjustments.
