Cash is accepted for driver's license renewal. Renewal at the Vehicle Management Office: To renew your license at the Vehicle Management Office, you first need to undergo a medical examination at a healthcare facility to check for color blindness, vision, grip strength of both hands, etc. This process doesn't take much time. After obtaining the medical examination results, the driver must bring the original ID card and original driver's license to the Vehicle Management Office to complete the relevant procedures, pay the associated fees, and then wait to receive the new license. Online Processing: Now, the traffic management department has launched a dedicated online APP for handling related services, called "Traffic Management 12123." This software has a dedicated section for driver's license services. After completing the offline medical examination, drivers can upload their medical examination information and follow the instructions to process the renewal.

I understand the regulations regarding driver's license renewal payments. As an official institution, the vehicle management office typically accepts various payment methods, including cash, bank cards, WeChat Pay, and Alipay. Based on my experience, cash payment is still a common option, especially at some grassroots service points, as it simplifies the processing procedure. However, with the widespread adoption of digital payments in recent years, many places now prioritize and encourage QR code scanning or card payments. Therefore, it's best to call ahead or check the local policy online to confirm whether cash is accepted. I recommend bringing enough cash, such as 20 to 50 yuan in small change, in case of machine malfunctions or poor signal. Also, don't forget to bring your ID card, old driver's license, and photos to ensure a smoother process. In summary, cash payments are accepted, but choosing other methods can be more efficient.

Last time I renewed my driver's license in person at the DMV, I found the payment methods quite flexible. Cash was definitely accepted, and the staff directly helped me count and process it, saving me the hassle of queuing to scan QR codes. Times have changed - most people use WeChat Pay or Alipay now, but folks my age feel more comfortable carrying some cash. The fee was reasonable, just a few dozen yuan, but I'd recommend checking the official app or WeChat public account to confirm payment options beforehand. Don't worry about cash issues, just bring some change and your documents - the process is straightforward.

The payment methods for driver's license renewal have been updated with technology. Mobile payments like WeChat and Alipay are the mainstream choices, allowing instant completion by scanning QR codes, saving time and effort. However, traditional cash payments haven't disappeared, especially available in some small towns or temporary service windows. I believe this reflects the convenience of diversified payment options, with cash remaining a practical backup to ensure you're not stuck due to machine failures. In short, checking the local DMV's announcements and bringing cash as a backup is always a good idea.
