What does it mean to postpone the renewal of a driver's license on 12123?

12123 postponement of driver's license renewal refers to exceeding the stipulated time to replace the motor vehicle driver's license. The following are the matters that need attention after obtaining a new driver's license: 1. Probation period: From the day the driver's license is obtained, it is the probation period within one year. Many matters need attention during the probation period. The driver's license during the probation period cannot be used on highways unless accompanied by a veteran driver with 3 years of experience; if a C1 driver's license is deducted 12 points during the probation period, the probationary driving qualification will be immediately revoked. For large vehicle licenses above B class, if 6-12 points are deducted during the probation period (less than 12 points), the probation period will be extended for another year, and the holder must retake the subject 1 test within 30 days after the probation period. 2. Driver's license renewal: After the one-year probation period, it is necessary to go to the local vehicle management office where the license was issued to renew the driver's license, but any violations must be handled first. After 6 years of holding the driver's license, it is necessary to go to the local vehicle management office where the license was issued to renew it. A medical examination at the hospital is required, along with the driver's license, ID card, and three 1-inch color photos to fill out the application form at the vehicle management office. 3. Points cycle: The points cycle of a driver's license is one year from the day the license is obtained. If a C1 driver's license is not deducted 12 points within this year and all violations are handled and fines paid before the second cycle, the points will be replenished to 12 at the beginning of the second cycle.
I used the 12123 App to apply for this driver's license renewal extension. It means if your license is about to expire but you can't find time to visit the traffic management office, you can apply online through the App to delay the renewal process, temporarily maintaining your legal driving status. Last time when I was swamped with work, I simply submitted my ID photo and personal information on my phone, and it got approved in just a few days, allowing me an extra month or so to renew my license, avoiding fines or penalty points. This feature is really practical because it eliminates the hassle of queuing and lets you check the progress anytime. However, delaying too long might affect your next renewal review, so I recommend using the App as soon as your license is nearing expiration—it's both safe and convenient. Always pay attention to your document's validity when driving frequently, and the App also has reminder settings to protect yourself and make things easier for others.
