2 Answers
For driver's license renewal, you need to prepare two 1-inch bareheaded color photos, two copies of your ID card and the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free physical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). Renewal process: The motor vehicle driver shall apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued with the required materials. The vehicle management office will complete the renewal procedures within one working day after passing the review. Renewal and inspection must meet the following conditions: Holders of large passenger car, tractor, city bus, medium passenger car, or large truck driver's licenses have no points in this scoring cycle, or holders of other permitted vehicle driver's licenses have less than 12 points in this scoring cycle; Holders of large passenger car, tractor, city bus, medium passenger car, or large truck driver's licenses have points in a scoring cycle, and holders of other permitted vehicle driver's licenses who caused a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility but have not had their driver's license revoked, have participated in the inspection education; The applicant has no outstanding road traffic safety violations or traffic accidents; The applicant's physical condition meets the driving license conditions; The motor vehicle driver's license is not seized, detained, suspended, revoked, canceled, or withdrawn by law.
I recently renewed my driver's license, and the whole process went quite smoothly. The required materials basically include the original ID card and its copy, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate. This medical check must be done at a designated hospital or medical center, mainly checking vision and health status. Also, you'll need a few one-inch bareheaded photos with a white background. I checked the process online in advance to avoid unnecessary trips, such as ensuring the photos were recently taken and the medical check wasn't expired. When preparing the materials, don't forget to make an extra copy of your ID card just in case, as the vehicle management office might ask for it on the spot. The whole process took half a day at the vehicle management office, so it's better to go in the morning when there are fewer people. I renewed my license because the old one was about to expire, and for safety reasons, it's better not to delay too long. From my personal experience, bringing all these will get the job done, and you can also take the opportunity to check if your driving habits are healthy.
