What is the validity period of a newly issued driver's license?
2 Answers
The validity period of a newly issued motor vehicle driver's license is six years. The methods to check the validity period of the driver's license are as follows: Check the vehicle license: Look at the vehicle license. The registration date at the bottom of the original copy indicates the month for the annual vehicle inspection, with the deadline being the last day of that month. Similarly, a printed note on the duplicate copy of the vehicle license states "Inspection valid until XXXX/XX," and the inspection can be done three months in advance (including the inspection month). Check the annual inspection sticker: On the white side of the annual inspection sticker, it is printed "Inspection valid until XXXX/XX," which indicates the final deadline month for the annual inspection. Similarly, it can be done three months in advance. Check the compulsory insurance policy: The compulsory insurance policy includes the vehicle's registration date. As mentioned in the first point, the month of the registration date is the month when the vehicle requires an annual inspection.
Hey, as a new driver who just got my license, I've spent the past few months learning to drive and taking tests. When the traffic management bureau issued me a brand-new driver's license, they specifically told me that the first license is valid for 6 years. This means I don't have to go through the hassle of renewing it every two years, but during this period, I should regularly check for any rule updates to avoid violations affecting the next renewal. After 6 years, I can apply for a new license, and the validity period may be extended to 10 years, but only if my driving record is clean. This setup is really considerate because new drivers are prone to mistakes, and the validity period encourages us to stay vigilant at all times.
