What is the process for renewing a driver's license?
2 Answers
Go to the vehicle management office to collect the driver's license application form and fill it out, then submit it at the vehicle management office. The driver should bring the original motor vehicle driver's license, the motor vehicle driver's license application form, and their photo to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued to apply. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval.
Last time I renewed my driver's license, the process went quite smoothly. You can start the procedure three months in advance. First, go to the driver's medical examination point at the municipal hospital for a 20-yuan checkup, mainly testing vision and color blindness, which takes about ten minutes. Then, upload the medical certificate and a white-background ID photo taken within the last six months on the Traffic Management 12123 App, fill in the information, and choose mail delivery. The new license arrived in five days, with a 10-yuan processing fee and 15-yuan postage. Now, you can follow this process within one year after expiration; beyond that, you'll need to retake the written test. It's advisable to apply online on weekdays to avoid crowds and complete the entire process from home. Remember to check all traffic violation records beforehand, or your application might be rejected.
