Is the third driver's license renewal for a long-term or 20-year period?

Third driver's license renewal is for a long-term period. Initial issuance of driver's license: The initial issuance period for a C1 motor vehicle driver's license is six years. Renewal after six years: Upon the expiration of the six-year usage period of the motor vehicle driver's license, if there is no record of 12-point deduction within the six-year period, a ten-year driver's license will be issued as replacement. Third driver's license renewal: The third renewal of a motor vehicle driver's license is for a long-term period. The required condition is that after the expiration of the ten-year driver's license, there must be no record of 12-point or more deductions during the usage cycle of the motor vehicle driver's license. Only then can a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license be issued as replacement, after which no further renewal is needed. Otherwise, the original license's usage cycle will be applied for renewal.

I've been driving for over 20 years and renewed my driver's license for the third time last year, directly obtaining a permanent one. I first got my driver's license in 2000, which was valid for six years; in 2006, I renewed it for the second time, and it became valid for ten years; last year, during the third renewal, the staff said I met the conditions for a permanent long-term license, mainly because of my good record—no traffic violations or accumulating 12 penalty points. As an experienced driver, I find the permanent license quite convenient, as I won't need to frequently visit the vehicle management office anymore. The renewal process was simple: bring your ID card and old license, fill out a form, undergo a medical checkup, and pay a small fee. However, remember that safe driving is fundamental; if you drink and drive or severely speed, even a permanent license can be revoked. I recommend regularly checking your license status and not waiting until it expires to take action.

I just started learning to drive not long ago, and my instructor mentioned that the third license renewal is usually for a long-term period. My first license was valid for six years, the second renewal could extend it to ten years if there were no demerit points, and the third renewal under the right conditions could make it valid for life. My friend got a long-term license last year on his third renewal; he had been driving for ten years without major violations. I want to obtain a long-term license as soon as possible, so I follow traffic rules strictly—no speeding, no drunk driving. When renewing the license, you need to bring your ID and photos, and undergo a simple check-up. A long-term license saves the hassle of frequent renewals, but safety responsibilities must not be neglected. It's good for young drivers to learn about these rules early on.

The third renewal of a driver's license is usually valid for a long term, provided that the license has not been revoked or accumulated 12 penalty points within the validity period. The regulations are as follows: the first renewal is required six years after the initial issuance, the second renewal grants a ten-year validity, and the third renewal results in a long-term license. This system encourages drivers to drive safely. When renewing, ensure timely processing of the procedures and bring the necessary documents. A long-term license is valid for life, but safety always comes first.
