What is the validity period for driver's license renewal?
1 Answers
The initial issuance of a motor vehicle driver's license is valid for six years, the second issuance is valid for ten years, and subsequent renewals will be issued as a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license. The methods for renewing a driver's license are as follows: Renewal via the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expiry Renewal Service -- fill in the required information. The new license is generally delivered by mail. Visit the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at a postal office to process the renewal. The entire process, from registration to medical examination and new license issuance, takes only half an hour. Currently, this service is only available in a few cities, such as Hangzhou. Documents required for renewal: Bring two copies of your ID card, two recent 1-inch color passport photos without a hat, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office).
