What is the process for license renewal?
2 Answers
If the driver does not have time to go to the vehicle management office to handle it, they can go later and will not be penalized, but it must not exceed one year. Provide the original copy of the driver's license, ID card, and the motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate. The driver will be given a test paper to answer questions. Submit the forms and documents to the staff, who will verify them. If there are no issues, the new license will be issued.
As an office worker with a busy schedule, I only managed to get my vehicle inspected last month. The process is actually quite simple: first, prepare the original vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory insurance policy, and your ID card, then drive to an official inspection station. Once there, queue up to get a number, followed by a staff member conducting an exterior inspection, checking things like lights, tires, and license plates—all of which were fine. Next comes the crucial testing phase: an emissions test to ensure compliance with environmental standards, along with safety tests for brakes and the horn. Finally, pay a fee, usually around 100 to 200 yuan, and wait to receive the new inspection sticker. I recommend using a mobile app to book an inspection slot in advance to save time on queuing. Also, don’t forget to check your vehicle’s condition before the inspection—like whether the headlights are working—to avoid a wasted trip. The whole process takes about half a day and is quite efficient.
