First, log in to the online vehicle management office of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Department. Check the service you need to apply for and click to enter, which is the driver's license replacement and renewal. Select the same clause and enter the appointment page. Fill in your real information as instructed, such as name, ID number, phone number, etc. Wait for the verification code to be sent to your mobile phone, then enter the verification code and click the appointment button. Below each service appointment page, there will be corresponding friendly reminders and precautions for the service you are applying for. Please read them carefully when making an appointment.
I recently renewed my driver's license online, and the whole process was incredibly smooth. First, open the Traffic Management 12123 app, register or log in to your account, and remember to link your phone number to receive verification codes easily. Then, navigate to the 'Driver's License Services' section and select 'Renewal Upon Expiry.' Upload a recent photo—key requirements are a plain white background and dimensions not too large or too small; the official specification is 32mm × 26mm. I just used a clear formal photo. Next, choose the delivery method—I recommend mailing it to your home for convenience, even with a small shipping fee, to avoid queuing at the DMV. Payment via Alipay or WeChat covers the license production and shipping costs, totaling just a few dozen yuan. The license arrives in a few business days, and you can track progress in the app anytime. The biggest advantage of online renewal is speed—done in minutes, saving half a day compared to in-person visits—perfect for us young folks multitasking on our phones. Just don’t forget to complete the medical exam first; some hospitals can directly upload reports online to avoid delays. Overall, it’s hassle-free and efficient—highly recommend trying this digital service.
