Is it serious if the driver's license expires for three months?
1 Answers
It is serious. Even one day overdue counts as expired. An expired driver's license cannot be used to drive motor vehicles on the road, which constitutes unlicensed driving. If caught by traffic police, the vehicle will be impounded immediately. Below is additional information: 1. Regarding the renewal period for an expiring driver's license: The first issued driver's license is valid for six years, and renewal must be completed within three months before the expiration date. A driver's license that has exceeded its validity period cannot be used to drive. In most cities, the renewal can be completed on the same day, and there are self-service renewal machines at the vehicle management office for convenient processing. However, if the license has already expired, renewal can only be done at the service hall of the vehicle management office. 2. Regarding delayed renewal of the driver's license: Due to special circumstances or reasons, some people may not be able to renew their license within a short period. For example, if someone is abroad, in another city, or on a long business trip without their driver's license, and the license is about to expire, they can apply for a delayed renewal. Once the delayed renewal is approved, the driver's license will be temporarily frozen, meaning driving is not allowed. Only after completing the renewal procedures at the vehicle management office can the individual continue to drive. The maximum delay period for a driver's license renewal is three years.
