Documents required for license renewal: 1. Material 1: Prepare two 1-inch photos and a medical examination certificate. One photo should be affixed to the top right corner of the medical examination form, and the other should be kept for the new license. 2. Material 2: Bring your ID card and driver's license to the licensing hall, fill out the license renewal application form, then submit the documents, medical examination certificate, and application form to the staff, pay the processing fee, and wait to receive the new license. 3. Material 3: Before renewing your license, check if there are any outstanding traffic violations. If there are, they must be resolved first; otherwise, the renewal will not be processed. 4. Material 4: License renewal can be done up to 90 days in advance. Plan your time wisely to avoid expiration. If your license expires and you are caught by traffic police, you will be fined but not penalized with points. 5. Material 5: It is best to have the photos and medical examination certificate prepared at the traffic police licensing hall, as both require fees. Otherwise, self-prepared materials might not meet the requirements, leading to retakes and delays. 6. Material 6: License renewal can usually be completed on the spot, but in some large cities, it may take a few days, though it should not exceed 15 days. You will be notified to collect your new license once it is ready.

When renewing my driver's license, I usually bring several items: the original ID card is a must, and the old driver's license is also required because the DMV needs to verify the information. Don't forget to bring a few one-inch white background photos, as they will be used for the new license. The medical examination report is crucial—you must first go to a designated hospital for a check-up to prove your vision and hearing are fine, otherwise, the trip will be in vain. I recommend making an appointment with the DMV online in advance, filling out the application form, and paying a small processing fee of a few dozen yuan, which significantly reduces waiting time at the scene. Once, I went without an appointment and had to wait all morning to get it done. Since then, I’ve always made appointments via my phone. After renewal, the new license has a longer validity period, giving me peace of mind while driving without worrying about fines for an expired license. Always prioritize safety preparations when driving daily—don’t cut corners.
