What is the difference between reissuance and replacement of a driver's license?
3 Answers
There is no difference in usage. The following is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, people cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is called a 'driver's license.' This indicates that a driver's license is a 'permit.' 2. Examination Content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Before each subject test, an appointment must be made (special circumstances may be scheduled through the driving test green channel), and the test is taken after the appointment.
Last time I went to the DMV to replace my driver's license, I specifically asked the staff. Actually, 'reissuance' and 'replacement' of a driver's license are exactly the same thing. Whether your license is lost or damaged by water, you need to reapply for a new one, which is called 'replacement' in the DMV system. If we really want to split hairs, some people might refer to getting the new license on the spot as 'reissuance' and applying online for mail delivery as 'replacement.' But the actual process is completely identical: bring your ID card and a one-inch white-background photo to apply via the 12123 Traffic Management APP or go directly to the counter, and pay a 10-yuan fee. The only thing to note is that you can't drive during the replacement period—getting caught would count as driving without a license. The new license will indicate the original issuance date, but the validity period remains unchanged.
A seasoned driver tells you that 'reissuance' and 'replacement' mean the same thing. Last year, my son dropped his driver's license into a hot pot and boiled it. I checked with two vehicle management offices to confirm. Essentially, both refer to applying for a new license when the original one becomes unusable, and the system option is called 'replacement of motor vehicle driver's license.' It's very convenient now. Just log into the Traffic Management 12123 app, click 'replacement due to loss,' upload the front and back of your ID card, choose a nearby pickup point or have it delivered to your home, and you'll get it within three working days. However, if your license is about to expire and needs renewal, you'll need to bring an additional medical examination certificate. If you find the original license after getting a replacement, it must be invalidated—never use both at the same time.
