What documents are required for driver's license review?
2 Answers
Documents required for driver's license review include: original driver's license and its copy, original ID card and its copy, and several recent one-inch white background ID photos. The following is an introduction to driver's license annual review: 1. Large vehicle driver's license: Drivers holding A1, A2, B1, or B2 licenses should go to the traffic management department of the public security authority for review within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there is no record of demerit points during a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempted. 2. Small vehicle driver's license: Drivers holding C1 or below licenses will be reviewed when renewing their licenses upon expiration. However, if they are involved in a traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility without their motor vehicle driver's license being revoked, they should go to the traffic management department of the public security authority for review within thirty days after the end of the scoring cycle.
I recently went to the DMV to renew my driver's license, and the whole process went smoothly. Here’s what I brought: the original ID card and a copy are essential, don’t forget your original driver’s license booklet, and two one-inch white background photos (taking them in advance saves time). Also, you need to have a physical exam—many DMVs have partnered clinics where you can get your vision tested on the spot. The application form can be filled out on-site or downloaded and printed in advance; bringing a pre-filled form speeds things up. It’s recommended to go on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds, and the fee is just a few dozen yuan, with convenient payment options. I heard requirements might vary slightly by city, so checking the local traffic management app beforehand can save you unnecessary trips.
