What are the time regulations for renewing a C-class license?
2 Answers
C-class license renewal should be applied for within 90 days before the expiration of the driving license. The motor vehicle driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driving license was originally issued. When applying, the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Application Form" should be filled out. Time regulations: If the driving license expires within less than a year, it can be renewed normally; if it expires between one to three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be renewed by passing the subject one test; if it expires for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Driving license validity period: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driving license, they can be issued a ten-year validity driving license; if they have not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can be issued a long-term valid driving license.
When it comes to the time for renewing a driver's license, I figured it out when I last renewed my Class C license. My C1 license was initially valid for 6 years, and I had to apply for renewal within 90 days before its expiration. Letting it expire would cause trouble, such as fines or even having to retake the test. I went directly to the DMV to handle it, bringing my ID card, old license, and a one-inch photo, and also underwent a simple medical check-up, just testing vision and hearing. The whole process wasn’t difficult, and the cost was only a few dozen yuan for the medical check and processing fees. Now, after renewal, the validity period has been extended to 10 years, and the next renewal might even be for a long-term license. Since I drive often, I’ve developed the habit of checking my license’s expiration date to avoid last-minute rushes. Renewing the license also boosts my confidence while driving, as it’s reassuring to know I’m legally on the road. In short, just remember to renew every 6 years and start the process three months in advance.
