If the plastic film of the driver's license is peeling, simply re-laminate it. Alternatively, you can visit the vehicle management office for a replacement. Additional information: 1. Application for replacement: According to Article 60 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," under any of the following circumstances, the motor vehicle driver shall apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or at another vehicle management office within 30 days: (1) Within the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, if the motor vehicle driver's information recorded on the driver's license changes. (2) If the motor vehicle driver's license is damaged and becomes illegible. 2. Required materials for application: When applying, the applicant must fill out the application form and submit the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver and the motor vehicle driver's license. For citizens replacing their driver's license, bring two copies of ID card, two 1-inch color passport photos without a hat, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical 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," you can replace the license for free.
I've repaired many driver's licenses, and the best way to fix a peeling lamination film is using a hairdryer on the hot air setting. First, set the hairdryer to medium heat and blow it on the peeling area for about 15 seconds. The heat will soften and make the lamination film sticky again. Then quickly press both sides together with your fingers and hold for 10 seconds until it cools and sets. For severe peeling, you can apply a rice-sized drop of liquid glue into the gap before heating and pressing, but be careful not to get any on the photo or text. After pressing, it's recommended to place a heavy book on top for a few hours to ensure a stronger bond. For daily storage, avoid high-temperature areas like dashboards under direct sunlight, as the heat can melt the adhesive. This simple fix can last quite a while and is much more cost-effective than paying for a license replacement.
