What materials are needed for motor vehicle license renewal?
2 Answers
Materials required for driver's license renewal include a driver's license application form, ID card, original and photocopy of the driver's license, original and photocopy of temporary residence permit, proof of conditions, and three one-inch white-background color photos. Renewal process: Go to a medical institution for a physical examination, consult at the service hall guidance desk, take a number, prepare materials, wait for the number to be called to handle relevant procedures, pay the fee at the billing hall, and collect the new license at the service hall. Driver's license renewal time: The renewal period for a driver's license is three years. If the license expires within one year, it can be renewed normally. If it expires between one and three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be renewed by passing the subject one exam. If the renewal period exceeds three years, the vehicle management office will cancel the driver's license.
I remember being all flustered during my first license renewal after buying a car. Now I know better - you need to prepare several documents: original ID card and its photocopy, the old driving license, original vehicle registration certificate, and the latest valid copy of compulsory traffic insurance policy. Also, the vehicle photos must be standard-sized; you can take them at designated spots of the DMV in advance to save time. From my own experience, I recommend making an online appointment or checking local apps to avoid queues. Coming with incomplete materials means a wasted trip, so don't forget to check if your vehicle has passed the annual inspection to prevent audit issues. Bring a small bag to keep all documents organized, and the process will go smoothly.
