What procedures are required for a C1 driver's license renewal?

[DelPeyton]

Motor vehicle drivers shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing authority with the required materials. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Renewal materials: Bring two copies of ID card, two 1-inch bareheaded color photos, original ID card, 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 and inspection must meet the following conditions: Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses have no demerit points in the current scoring cycle, or holders of other permitted vehicle-type driver's licenses have less than 12 demerit points in the current scoring cycle; Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses have demerit points in the current scoring cycle, and holders of other permitted vehicle-type driver's licenses who have caused a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility without having their motor vehicle driver's license revoked, have participated in the inspection education; The applicant has no pending road traffic safety violations or traffic accidents; The applicant's physical condition meets the driving license requirements; The motor vehicle driver's license is not under circumstances of being seized, detained, temporarily suspended, revoked, canceled, or annulled by law.

I'm an ordinary office worker who just renewed my C1 driver's license. Since I'm usually busy with work, making an online appointment in advance saved me a lot of time. The required documents mainly include a copy of my ID card, the old driver's license, six bareheaded photos with a white background, and a physical examination at a designated hospital to check vision and hearing. Once all these materials are ready, I went directly to the Vehicle Management Office. Bring 50 yuan for the processing fee to the counter, and don't forget to fill out the application form. If there aren't many people, it can be done in half an hour. You can start the renewal process three months before the license expires to avoid delaying your commute. Last time, I forgot to bring photos and had to take them on-site, which cost me an extra 10 yuan, so I recommend preparing in advance to save costs. The Vehicle Management Office also has self-service machines, which are quite convenient, and you can even choose to have the new license mailed to your home.

As a student driver, upgrading to a C1 license is super easy! Just prepare your original valid ID card, a few clear photos, and pass a quick physical exam to confirm you don't have vision problems. Simply head to the DMV, queue up to submit your forms, pay a small processing fee of a few dozen yuan, and get your license on the spot. It's best to go on weekdays when it's less crowded to save time and money. Check the DMV's business hours on your phone in advance to avoid wasted trips. When your license is about to expire, act early—don't wait until the last minute and delay your travel plans. Bring all the required materials, and everything will go smoothly—no need to resort to scalpers. Enjoy worry-free daily driving, and after the upgrade, confidently hit the highway for a spin.

With over a decade of driving experience, I'm well-versed in C1 license renewal. First, ensure you bring the original ID card and old driver's license. Second, prepare compliant photos—white background, bareheaded, best taken in advance. Third, a medical report with qualified vision is mandatory; many beginners overlook this and make wasted trips. The DMV forms are straightforward. After paying the processing fee, wait a few days for the new license—no need to rush or push. During peak hours, it's too crowded; online appointment is recommended for hassle-free processing. Expired renewals incur penalties, so prepare early. Also, updating insurance records post-renewal is advised to avoid disputes.

I am a housewife who helped my husband renew his C1 driver's license. The required materials include two copies of both our ID cards, but casual life photos won't work – you need special white-background photos for official documents plus a medical certificate proving vision meets standards. Arrive early at the vehicle management office to avoid crowds. Fill out a form, pay a 50 yuan fee (cash or scan-to-pay accepted), and get the new license the same day – quick and straightforward. Don't forget to bring the old license to verify information accuracy. If the license is lost, you can still apply for a replacement using similar procedures but with an additional written statement. Drive worry-free daily – safety comes first with the new license.
