Is Damaged License Replacement the Same as Expired License Replacement?

[DeMaya]

Damaged license replacement and expired license replacement are not the same. Damaged license replacement means: The driver's license is damaged and cannot be recognized, so you must apply for a replacement. Expired license replacement means: The driver's license has expired and needs to be renewed. The penalties for driving with an expired license are as follows: You are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle during the expired period, otherwise you may be treated as driving without a license. If the license has been expired for less than one year, the driver can renew it at any time, but if caught driving, they will face a fine of 200 yuan. If the license has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, the traffic authorities will revoke it. To restore the driving qualification, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam. Driving during this period may result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan. If the license has been expired for more than three years, it will be permanently revoked. The driver must retake the driver's license exam to drive again. Otherwise, driving without a valid license may result in a fine of 2,000 yuan and up to 15 days of administrative detention.
