The physical examination items for renewing a driver's license mainly include vision test and color blindness test, grip strength, squat and stand-up, blood pressure, hearing, and electrocardiogram. Notes for renewing a driver's license: 1. Before renewing the license, ensure that all violations have been dealt with, fines have been paid, and points have been cleared; otherwise, the vehicle management office will not issue the new license. 2. If any scoring cycle during the validity period of the driver's license has a full 12 points recorded, a driver's license with a longer validity period cannot be renewed. 3. If the driver's license has expired for less than one year, the renewal can still be processed according to the normal procedure. If the license has expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, and the renewal can be processed by passing the subject one exam. If it has expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed.
I just completed my driver's license medical exam, and here's what's checked. Vision test is mandatory—you need to read the standard logarithmic eye chart clearly above 4.9. Myopic friends, remember to wear glasses. Next is the color vision test, identifying numbers or shapes in those colored dot patterns to confirm you can distinguish traffic light colors. The hearing test is simple: the doctor stands a few meters away whispering words for you to repeat. There's also a limb examination—raising both hands and performing a few movements to check finger dexterity and lower limb mobility. Finally, you must disclose any medical history affecting driving, such as heart disease or epilepsy. The whole process takes less than half an hour. I recommend getting proper rest beforehand and bringing your ID card and photos. Many DMV offices have nearby medical exam sites offering one-stop services.
