2 Answers
For the driver's license renewal medical examination at the hospital, you need to bring your original ID card and a copy, a recent one-inch color photo with a white background, and the medical examination fee. Vision: For monocular vision impairment, the naked or corrected vision of the right eye must be 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, with a horizontal field of vision reaching 150 degrees. Height: Height must be at least 150 centimeters. Color Vision: No red-green color blindness. Hearing: Both ears must be able to discern the direction of sound at a distance of 50 centimeters from a tuning fork. Limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact with normal limb and finger movement functions. Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement functions, and the length difference between the lower limbs must not exceed 5 centimeters. For automatic transmission vehicles, the right limb must be intact. There should be no movement dysfunction in the limbs.
When I renewed my driver's license, the items for the medical check-up were crucial. I remember bringing the original ID card to the hospital, and also a photocopy for backup, as the DMV sometimes requires copies for their records. The original driver's license was also necessary since the old one was being replaced. Don't get the photos wrong—they must be one-inch white-background ID photos. I brought three extra copies just in case, as some places are strict. It's best to fast before the check-up, as the doctor will test your vision, hearing, and blood pressure. If you're nearsighted, wear your glasses in advance. The fee is about 50 yuan, payable in cash or by scanning a QR code, to avoid hassle. The whole process takes about half an hour, so it's advisable to go early to the designated hospital to avoid long queues. Bringing some water is also a good idea, as you might feel thirsty after the check-up.
