Is the driver's license valid for long term after 6 and 10 years?

Driver's license can be valid for long term after 6 and 10 years. The following is the relevant introduction about the driver's license: 1. Introduction: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, which is a license required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. People who lack such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive motor vehicles at will. Generally, people without a license cannot drive on the road. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that allows them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license". This shows that the driver's license is a kind of "license". 2. Examination content: The examination subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Before each subject examination, you need to make an appointment (special circumstances can be made through the green channel of the driving test), and then take the examination after the appointment.
I recently renewed my driver's license. Initially, it was valid for 6 years when first issued, and this year upon expiration, I got a new one with a validity period extended to 10 years at once. According to experienced driver friends, after another 10 years when it expires again, as long as I maintain a clean driving record—such as not accumulating 12 penalty points or exceeding 70 years old—the next renewal could grant me a permanent license. This is really convenient for me, saving frequent trips to the DMV for updates. However, I must drive carefully with safety as the top priority, otherwise violations might shorten the validity period. The renewal process was smooth—just a simple medical check-up and photo. A long-term license makes life much easier, especially for young people like us who frequently use cars; less hassle means more peace of mind. Remember to regularly check your license status to avoid expiration affecting your travels.
As a driver with years of experience, I've renewed my driver's license twice: the first time from a 6-year to a 10-year validity period, and the second time it was directly upgraded to a long-term license. The key is to follow the rules—no serious accidents, no accumulation of 12 penalty points, and passing the health check. If these conditions aren't met, the validity period might remain 10 years or even shorter. A long-term license offers great benefits, eliminating the need to renew every few years, but don't let your guard down—safe driving is the foundation. It's advisable to prepare the required documents in advance before renewal, such as your ID card and health examination report, to avoid last-minute hassles. In short, it's a good thing and worth striving for.
