Driver's license renewal process is as follows: 1. Prepare materials: Within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license, prepare the original driver's license of the motor vehicle driver and the original ID card, three one-inch white background color photos of yourself, and a physical condition certificate (generally a physical certificate issued by a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution), and go to the vehicle management office. 2. Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form": After arriving at the vehicle management office, obtain and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", and paste the photo on the form. 3. Apply for renewal: Present the original driver's license, physical condition certificate, "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", and your photo to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Before applying for renewal, the driver should first handle any vehicle violations or unpaid fines, otherwise the vehicle management office will not renew the license. 4. If you cannot handle it yourself, you can entrust someone else to handle it: If you are unable to apply for the renewal yourself due to being in a different location, you can mail back your ID card, driver's license, physical examination certificate, and three photos, and entrust family or friends to help with the process. However, you must obtain and fill out a "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" at the local vehicle management office (the physical examination form is also obtained at the local vehicle management office after the physical examination) and mail it back, because this form must be signed by both the applicant and the trustee to be processed.
I just renewed my driver's license, and it felt quite simple! First step is preparing the materials: bring your ID card, old driver's license, and two one-inch photos. It's best to prepare a medical examination form in advance. Nowadays, many places allow online appointments via apps, saving time and effort. I went directly to the DMV and spent 20 minutes filling out forms. The on-site medical examination was also very convenient. Don’t forget to bring some cash or use mobile payment for the fees, which are not high. Before and after renewing the license, I checked the traffic rules to remind myself to drive safely. After all, renewing your license is a good opportunity to revisit driving safety tips. If it’s crowded on weekends, choosing a weekday is faster. The whole process took less than an hour to complete.
