Is the driving license valid for life or does it need to be renewed every few years?
1 Answers
The first renewal is after 6 years, and the second renewal is after 10 years. More extended information is as follows: 1. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law": The initial validity period of a motor vehicle driving license is 6 years, with the first year being the probation period. After 6 years, the second renewal has a validity period of 10 years, and after 10 years, subsequent renewals are valid for life. The motor vehicle driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driving license was issued within 90 days before the expiration of the current license. 2. There are two types of expiration for a driving license: First, annual inspection expiration. If the annual inspection is not conducted on time, the validity of the previous year's inspection expires. Failure to conduct the annual inspection means the vehicle has not undergone the required annual or biennial inspection. Vehicles without a valid inspection are not allowed to drive on public roads, and driving without it will result in penalties. Second, driving license validity expiration. This type of expiration is equivalent to not having a driving license. Vehicles without a valid driving license are also not allowed to drive on public roads and will face the same penalties.
