I recently completed the renewal of my C1 driver's license, and the whole process went quite smoothly. You need to prepare the original ID card and its photocopy, along with the expired or soon-to-expire old driver's license. Then, you must go to the hospital for a physical examination report, where the doctor will test your vision, blood pressure, etc., to ensure you meet the health requirements. Don’t forget to bring several one-inch blue-background color photos, as they are required when submitting documents at the vehicle management office. After filling out the application form, pay a small fee of a few dozen yuan, and you can get your new license on the spot. The entire process takes about half a day, so it’s recommended to make an appointment in advance via a mobile app like the 12123 platform for convenience. After renewal, remember to check whether the validity period of the new license has been reset to avoid future hassles. Overall, having all the required documents and acting early is the key.
