Renewal requires the following materials: 1. "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form"; 2. Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; 3. Motor vehicle driver's license; 4. Medical certificate of physical condition issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level. For applicants applying for a special small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted; 5. The motor vehicle driver may authorize an agent to handle license renewal, replacement, submission of physical condition proof, extension processing, and cancellation services. When applying for motor vehicle driver's license services, the agent must submit their identity proof and the application form or physical condition proof jointly signed by the motor vehicle driver and the agent; 6. Three recent one-inch bareheaded white-background color photos.

As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience, I'm already well-versed in the license renewal process for the second time. You'll need to bring complete documents to the DMV: original ID card and its photocopy for identity verification; the old driver's license must be surrendered for replacement; physical examination certificate from designated hospitals checking vision, hearing, etc. (results available same day); several 1-inch white-background photos are mandatory for the application form; also prepare cash or mobile payment for the small fee (a few dozen yuan). I recommend going early on weekdays to avoid afternoon crowds. The new license is valid for 10 years, and the entire process takes about half an hour if everything goes smoothly. Don't let your license expire for over a year - otherwise you might have to retake the written test (I learned this the hard way), which wastes more time.

I just got back from renewing my driver's license for the second time, and it felt super easy. The required materials are just a few items: bring your ID card and its photocopy, your old driver's license, a medical examination report (which takes just a few minutes at a nearby hospital), and one or two one-inch white background photos. The DMV has application forms you can fill out on the spot, and the fee is about 50 yuan. A reminder to everyone: check the list in advance. Last time, I forgot to bring photos and had to take them on the spot, costing an extra 20 yuan. I recommend going on a weekday to reduce waiting time—the whole process, from entering to getting the new license, took just about twenty minutes. With all the materials ready, it’s a breeze. Don’t rush like I did and end up going to the wrong place.

The materials required for the second driver's license renewal include: original ID card plus a copy, original driver's license, medical examination certificate, and several photos. Just submit these directly when applying at the vehicle management office. The fee is around 50 yuan, and both cash and electronic payments are accepted. The medical examination is conducted at designated institutions and is valid on the same day, with quick processing. After filling out the forms, the waiting time for the new license issuance is generally not too long. Don't delay too long to avoid expiration issues.
