What Information is on a Driver's License?
1 Answers
On the original copy of the driver's license, there are the initial issuance date and the effective start date of the license. These two dates are crucial for the lifelong matters of the driver's license. The details are as follows: 1. Initial issuance date: The initial issuance date of the driver's license refers to the date when the motor vehicle driver's license was first obtained. This date remains unchanged, even if additional driving categories are added or the license is renewed. The accumulation cycle of traffic violation points and the inspection cycle of the driver's license are calculated from the initial issuance date. Note: The probation period for additional driving categories starts from the date of adding the category, but the initial issuance date remains unchanged. Therefore, there might be a time difference between the probation period of the additional driving category and the license inspection (automatic point clearance) time. 2. Effective start date: The effective start date of the driver's license refers to the starting date of the 'validity period' of the motor vehicle driver's license. After the initial issuance, the motor vehicle driver's license has a 'validity period,' which is divided into six years, ten years, and long-term according to regulations. After the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license, it needs to be renewed, and upon renewal, it enters the second validity period, with the effective start date changing.
