The required procedures and documents for reissuing a driver's license include: 1. Motor vehicle driver's license application form; 2. ID card and photocopy of the applicant; 3. Digital photo of the driver; 4. A written statement of loss for the driver's license. The procedure for renewing an expired driver's license is: According to road traffic safety laws and regulations, the validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years, and the driver should apply for renewal within 90 days before the expiration date. Notes for renewing an expired driver's license: 1. The applicant must truthfully submit the required materials to the vehicle management office, declare the required 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.
Last month, I lost my driver's license and was in a panic. I rushed to the DMV to apply for a replacement. Remember to bring the original ID card and a copy, plus two one-inch white-background color photos. On-site, fill out the 'Application Form for Driver's License Replacement,' and the staff will verify your identity. If you haven't had a physical exam within the past year, you'll need to take one to test your vision—I got it done on a self-service machine for 20 yuan. The whole process took half an hour, and after paying a 10-yuan fee, I got my new license on the spot. I recommend checking the local DMV website first, as some places require an appointment to avoid queues. It's also a good idea to store your driver's license and ID card separately as a double safeguard against loss.
Last year when I replaced my driver's license, I found the process much easier using the Traffic Management 12123 App. After logging in, select 'Driver's License Replacement/Renewal', then follow the prompts to upload front/back photos of your ID card and a 1-inch white-background digital photo. Note: avoid wearing light-colored clothes in the photo as the system automatically reviews it. Pay the 20 yuan processing fee plus delivery charge, and it'll be mailed to your home within five days. The entire process takes just ten minutes, making it particularly convenient for office workers. The only physical materials required are showing your original documents to the courier upon delivery for verification. Currently, some cities also offer self-service terminals where you can get it immediately by bringing your ID card. Of course, online applications require that your license isn't revoked or expired - abnormal statuses still require visiting a service window.
