The difference between a lost and reissued driver's license and the original one is the document number on the license. When the driver's license expires, it needs to be renewed. For renewal, you must bring your ID card, driver's license, medical examination certificate, two one-inch white background photos, and a copy of your ID card. A driver's license, also known as a driving permit, is a document issued by the government transportation department to individuals who qualify to drive. It is usually a card. To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the age requirements and pass a driving test. The precautions for renewing an expired driver's license are: 1. The applicant must truthfully submit the required materials to the vehicle management office, declare the specified items truthfully, and be responsible for the authenticity of the substantive content of the application materials; 2. The applicant must meet the application conditions stipulated in the regulations for the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses.
I recently went through the process of replacing my driver's license and noticed that while the new license looks similar, there are some changes in the details. The license number remains my ID number, and the validity period stays the same, but the issue date has been updated to the day of the replacement. The most noticeable difference is that the file number on the back page of the license is regenerated, and the old license is directly invalidated by the system. To apply for a replacement, you need to bring your ID card and a photo, with a fee of 10 yuan. Nowadays, you can also apply through the traffic management app 12123 on your phone. However, it's important to note that once you receive the new license, the old one becomes invalid even if you find it, and using it could be considered driving without a license. It's advisable not to drive during the replacement period and wait until you have the new license. It's also a good idea to take a photo of your license information as a backup, just in case.
