What materials are needed for renewing a C1 driver's license?
2 Answers
C1 driver's license renewal requires the following materials: the old driver's license, ID card, and a medical examination form. Driver's licenses have a validity period, and vehicle owners need to renew their licenses at the local traffic management department before the expiration date. If the license has already expired, renewal is still possible, but the process will be more complicated. A driver's license (full name: motor vehicle driver's license), also known as a driving permit, is a document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals who qualify to drive, usually in the form of a card. To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test. The license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc.
Last time I went to renew my C1 driver's license, it was quite convenient as long as I prepared a few things. I had to bring the original ID card and its photocopy, and also hand in the old driver's license—don’t lose it. I needed to get a medical check-up report in advance to prove I was in good health, which could usually be done at a community hospital without costing much. I also needed a few one-inch color photos with a clean background; I printed a batch online, which was enough. Filling out an application form at the vehicle management office was quick, and the whole process took less than half an hour. Remember to make an appointment in advance to save time when it’s less crowded. Don’t stay up late on the day of the medical check-up to avoid high blood pressure. Having all the materials ready saves multiple trips and makes everything hassle-free.
