I think renewing a driver's license is quite simple, mainly depending on whether it's due to expiration or other reasons. The validity period of a driver's license is usually 6 or 10 years, depending on your age and the time of initial issuance. Last time, I went to renew it 3 months before expiration. First, I made an appointment either at the Traffic Management Bureau or through the 12123 traffic management app. You need to bring the original ID card, the old driver's license, and a few one-inch white background photos. A physical examination is mandatory—I went to a community hospital for vision and hearing tests to ensure my physical condition was qualified. If renewing due to expiration or damage, you also need to explain the reason. By the way, the cost is not high, just a few dozen yuan. Also, make sure to clear any traffic violation records, as they might affect the renewal. Remember to prepare in advance to avoid last-minute hassles that could impact your driving.
