2 Answers
For the driver's license renewal medical examination, you need to bring your original ID card, a photocopy of your ID card, and a recent one-inch color photo with a white background. Materials required for renewal: Bring two photocopies of your ID card, two recent one-inch color photos without headwear, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office). Renewal and inspection must meet the following conditions: Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium-sized passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses must have no demerit points in the current scoring cycle, or holders of other types of driver's licenses must have fewer than 12 demerit points in the current scoring cycle. Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium-sized passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses with demerit points in the current scoring cycle, as well as holders of other types of driver's licenses who have been involved in a traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility but have not had their driver's license revoked, must have completed the inspection education. The applicant must have no pending road traffic safety violations or traffic accidents. The applicant's physical condition must meet the driving license requirements. The driver's license must not be seized, detained, temporarily suspended, revoked, canceled, or rescinded by law.
I often drive around by myself, and I went through this process when renewing my driver's license last year. The main things to bring are your original ID card and your old driver's license, as these are necessary to prove your identity. At the hospital or medical check-up site, you'll also need to fill out a medical examination form. The doctor will check your vision, hearing, and for color blindness—it's pretty quick and straightforward. I recommend bringing an extra one-inch photo, as some places require it to be pasted on the form. The whole process is better done early in the day to avoid long queues. Once you finish the medical check-up and get the report, you can go to the vehicle management office to apply for your new license. Don't forget to bring cash, as the medical check-up fee is usually around a few dozen yuan, and cash is generally more convenient.
