Is a physical examination required for driver's license renewal now?
2 Answers
Driver's license renewal requires a physical examination. Here are the specific requirements for the physical examination for driver's license renewal: 1. Height: The height must be 150 centimeters or more. 2. Vision: For applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tram driving licenses, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other types of driving licenses, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 3. Physical condition: The body must be sound, without disabilities, infectious diseases, or red-green color blindness.
I just renewed my driver's license, and the medical checkup is an unavoidable step. You must go to designated hospitals for basic tests like vision and color perception. Especially for vision, if either eye scores below 4.9, you'll need corrective glasses on the spot for immediate stamp approval. Last time in queue, I met a guy who failed the hearing test and had to retake the whispered voice recognition exam. Nowadays, medical reports are directly uploaded online to the DMV, and you can complete the license renewal by making an appointment via the 12123 traffic management app. Reminder: the medical form is valid for six months—expired reports require re-examination, so go early to avoid crowds.
