I just went through the process of renewing my C1 driver's license, and it was quite interesting. The renewal must be applied for within 90 days before the expiration date, and you can't delay it too long, as it might result in fines or driving restrictions. Make sure to bring your original ID card and a copy, as these are key for identity verification. Also, prepare a medical examination certificate from a certified hospital to check your vision, hearing, etc., ensuring you're physically fit to drive safely. You'll need a few one-inch white-background color ID photos. At the DMV, just fill out an application form and submit it—the whole process is straightforward and takes about one to two hours. I found planning ahead very helpful. During the medical check, they even tested my reaction to traffic lights, which I felt was quite useful for daily driving. So, don’t wait until the last few days to rush through it!
