The online process for renewing a driver's license in a different location is through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" app, then select Service Center -- Expired License Renewal Service -- fill in the information. The new license is generally delivered by mail. Driver's license renewal period: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license. When applying, they should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form". Driver's license validity period: Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in each scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, they will be issued a driver's license with a ten-year validity period; if they have not accumulated 12 penalty points in each scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period of the driver's license, they will be issued a driver's license with long-term validity.
I just renewed my driver's license in another city last week, and the whole process was easier than expected. Simply download the Traffic Management 12123 APP, register and log in, then select the 'Driver's License Replacement/Renewal' service. Upload photos of both sides of your ID card and a recent white-background ID photo taken within the last six months. Fill in the mailing address, choose mail delivery, pay the 10 yuan processing fee and about 20 yuan for express delivery, then just wait for the courier. The key is to clear any traffic violations in advance and avoid wearing light-colored clothes in the photo to prevent rejection. It only took five days from application to receiving the new license, really saving the hassle of visiting the DMV. I recommend preparing compliant photos in advance; the whole process can be done in just ten minutes on your phone.
