It is serious if you don't renew your expired driver's license, as you cannot drive on the road without a valid license. Otherwise, it may be treated as driving without a license, and you should renew it as soon as possible. Time regulations: If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be renewed normally; if it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be revoked, but you can renew it by passing the subject one exam; if it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Penalty regulations for expired driver's license: You are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle during the expired period, otherwise it may be treated as driving without a license. If the driver's license has been expired for less than one year, the driver can renew it at any time, but if driving on the road, they may face a fine of 200 yuan. If the driver's license has been expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will revoke it according to the law. Among them, if the expiration period is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore their driving qualification. If driving on the road during this period, they may face a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, the license will be completely revoked. If the driver wants to drive again, they must retake the driver's license exam. Otherwise, driving on the road will be treated as driving without a license, with a fine of 2000 yuan and administrative detention of up to 15 days.
