Documents required for a C1 driver's license renewal include: ID card, driver's license, and proof of physical condition. A driver's license (full name: motor vehicle driver's license), also known as a driving license, is a document issued by the government transportation department to individuals who meet the driving qualifications, usually in the form of a card. To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test. The driver's license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc. The order of vehicle categories that a motor vehicle driver is permitted to drive is as follows: large buses, tractor units, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, regular three-wheeled motorcycles, regular two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams.

I just got my C1 driver's license renewed recently, and the process went pretty smoothly. You need to bring your original ID card and a photocopy for verification at the vehicle management office. You must bring your old driver's license, otherwise they won't process the renewal. As for photos, prepare several recent bareheaded photos with a white background, sized 35mm×45mm—I brought four just to be safe. Don't forget to visit a hospital first for a physical exam, including vision tests, and bring the medical report with you. You can fill out the application form on-site, but remember to bring a pen. I recommend making an online appointment in advance to avoid waiting in line all morning. The fee is around 20-30 yuan, and you can pay in cash or via QR code. With all the documents prepared beforehand, the whole thing takes about an hour. Also, check the local traffic police website for announcements to avoid showing up on their day off.

As a seasoned driver, I know the license renewal process inside out. You'll need the original and a copy of your ID card, three to five bareheaded white-background photos, and of course your old driver's license. First, visit a hospital for a quick vision test to get your medical certificate. Then head to the DMV to fill out an application form and submit all documents at once. The fee is quite affordable, around 20 yuan. Choose an off-peak day for higher efficiency and shorter wait times. Having all documents ready saves multiple trips - quite hassle-free. A friendly reminder: don't drive with an expired license during renewal to avoid tickets.

My grandson helped me with the license renewal, it's not difficult. Bring your ID card and a copy, a few small-sized white background photos. The old booklet must be taken. Get a medical report from the hospital, just explain your needs clearly. Fill out the application form at the DMV, having family accompany you is more convenient. It doesn't cost much, bring cash. The whole process is simple and safe, suitable for us elderly.
