What is the validity period for an initially issued motor vehicle driver's license?

[MacMason]

The validity period for an initially issued motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years. If there is no record of accumulating 12 penalty points during the entire 6-year validity period of the initially issued license, the validity period will be extended by 4 years upon renewal, totaling 10 years. If there is no record of accumulating 12 penalty points within the 10-year period, a long-term driver's license can be issued. Below is additional information regarding driver's license expiration: Expired or revoked driver's license: Although the validity period of a driver's license is indicated on the inner pages, many people overlook it. If a driver's license has been expired for less than 1 year, the holder only needs to submit the required materials to the vehicle management office within 1 year of expiration to renew the license. Driving with an expired license: Driving a motor vehicle with an expired driver's license is a violation and will result in a fine. Driving a motor vehicle after the license has been revoked will also result in a fine and may lead to administrative detention.
