What are the procedures for renewing a driver's license and how to do it?
3 Answers
Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the jurisdiction where the original driver's license was issued within 90 days before the expiration of the current license. When applying, they must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form". Here is additional information: 1. Renewal in a different location: If a motor vehicle driver's household registration is transferred out of the jurisdiction of the original vehicle management office, they should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the new jurisdiction; if a motor vehicle driver resides outside the jurisdiction of the issuing vehicle management office, they can apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of their current residence. 2. Materials required for renewing to a new version of the driver's license: Bring two copies of ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without hats, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free physical examination is also available at the vehicle management office) to the vehicle management office. After filling out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", the license can be renewed for free.
I just renewed my driver's license a few days ago, and it was actually super simple! Bring your original ID card and old driver's license to the DMV, and don't forget to get a medical examination form from the hospital in advance. After filling out the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form' on-site, queue up for a photo and pay the 10-yuan processing fee. Wait for half an hour, and your new license will be ready. Note that the medical examination is valid for three months; if it expires, you'll need to redo it. If you have an out-of-town license, you must transfer it to the local one first. The whole process took me 40 minutes that day. The DMV is much more efficient than I imagined, but I recommend avoiding peak hours on Mondays and at the end of the month.
Office Workers, Renew Your Driver's License Here: It's Easier to Apply Directly via the 12123 App! First, undergo a driver's medical examination at a hospital—the report will be uploaded to the system automatically. Log in to the app, select 'Driver's License Renewal/Replacement,' confirm your details, and upload a digital copy of your white-background ID photo. A fee of 10 yuan is payable online, and you can choose to have your new license mailed to your home. Note: the photo must have been taken within the last six months, and applications will be rejected if there's glare from glasses for those who wear them. My colleague did this just last week and received the new license in three days, without any impact on work hours.
