What is the general validity period of a driver's license?
1 Answers
The validity period of a driver's license is divided into 6 years, 10 years, and long-term. Below are the relevant details about the validity period of a driver's license: 1. Validity period: The validity period of a driver's license is categorized into 6 years, 10 years, and long-term. The initial issuance of a driver's license is valid for 6 years. If within the 6-year validity period, the driver does not accumulate 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle, they can apply for a 10-year license. If within the 10-year validity period, the driver does not accumulate 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle, they can then apply for a long-term license. The upgrade to a longer validity period is contingent upon not accumulating 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle, after which the driver can apply for a higher validity period license at the vehicle management office. 2. Notes for license renewal: (1) Before applying, ensure all traffic violations and accidents related to the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License' are resolved, and the license is in normal status. (2) Apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at any other vehicle management office within 90 days before the expiration of the current license.
