Driver's license renewal requires the original ID card, a copy of the ID card, the original driver's license, a copy of the driver's license, and three one-inch white-background color-printed ID photos. If submitting online, a medical examination certificate is also required. For an in-person renewal at the vehicle management office, you need to fill out the motor vehicle driver's license application form and complete the medical examination form after the on-site medical check. A driver's license is a certification document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals who meet the driving qualifications, usually in the form of a card. The validity period of a driver's license is 6 years, 10 years, or long-term. Drivers should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license.
I've renewed my driver's license several times, and the basic materials are always the same: my original ID card and its copy, the old driver's license booklet, and about three recent one-inch bareheaded photos. Don't forget to get a physical exam, which must be done at designated hospitals or the vehicle management office to check vision, hearing, and other physical conditions, and bring the physical examination certificate form. Filling out the application form is quite simple, and in some places, you can do it on-site or use a self-service machine. I remember last time I didn’t bring a copy, and it took a long time to queue for photocopying on-site, so it's better to prepare in advance to save trouble. Booking an appointment ahead of time is even more convenient, and now it can all be done via a mobile app. After renewal, double-check the new license information to avoid any mistakes that could cause trouble when driving later. With all the materials ready, you can get it the same day, which is quite convenient.
For driver's license renewal, you need to bring all required materials. I remember to bring the original ID card, one photocopy, the old driver's license, and several one-inch photos. A medical examination certificate is mandatory - get your vision tested at a certified hospital and submit the report. Don't forget to fill out the application form during the process, and be careful not to mix up the photo size requirements. On my first attempt, I didn't make an appointment and had to wait for hours due to the crowd. I recommend going on weekday mornings or booking online for convenience. Bring some cash as there might be processing fees. With all materials prepared, the procedure goes quickly. After getting your new license, remember safety comes first when driving - don't become complacent just because you've renewed it.
