After logging into the Traffic Management 12123 platform, select 'Renew Expired Driver's License' through the business center. If there is no valid driver's license photo available online, continue the process after submitting the required driver's license photo. Proceed to the driver's information confirmation page to verify details including name, driver's license number, expiration date, etc. Obtain a mobile SMS verification code, click submit after verification, and complete the submission of the expired license renewal application to finalize the process.
I just renewed my license last year, and the process was quite smooth. First, go to a designated hospital for a physical examination report, checking things like vision to meet the requirements, and get a certificate. Bring your original ID card and old driver's license straight to the local DMV. Fill out the application form on-site and submit it to the staff for review. They will check your documents and ask you to pay a fee of 50-100 yuan. You might need to take a photo on-site or provide a one-inch white background photo. The whole process takes about half an hour, and you'll get your new license. It's recommended to do it within 90 days in advance to avoid trouble after expiration. Don't skip the physical exam, as it has a validity period—don't wait too long. Driving without a license is dangerous, so hurry up and get it done—safety first. Also, make sure to check your car's condition and maintenance. Going early means fewer people and saves time. Prepare the small details, and you won't run into any issues.
As someone familiar with the process, the steps for license renewal are clear. First, a physical examination must be completed at designated medical institutions, including a vision test to obtain the certificate. Prepare your ID card and old driver's license, and go directly to the DMV—online appointments are recommended to save time. Fill out the application, pay around 50 yuan, and provide a photo or take one on-site to receive your new license immediately. Processing is quick, and the new validity period starts from the expiration date. Remember to handle it within 90 days before expiration to avoid fines. Costs are low, and materials must be complete—don’t forget cash or mobile payment. Early hours before 9 AM at the DMV are less crowded for higher efficiency. A small tip: verify material authenticity to avoid misinformation, and always prioritize safe driving.
