What procedures are required for driver's license renewal?

[StElliott]

To renew a driver's license, you need to bring two copies of your ID card, two 1-inch bareheaded color photos, the original ID card, the 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) to the vehicle management office. After filling out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," you can renew your license for free. The specific introduction to the driver's license is as follows: Definition: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the management department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination, permitting the driving of a certain type of motor vehicle. Classification: The Ministry of Public Security issued the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards" and supporting regulations, further subdividing the previous three types of permitted driving models—A license (A driver's license, large passenger vehicle), B license (B driver's license, large truck), and C license (C driver's license, small car)—into seven types, while canceling the Q license.

I just went to renew my driver's license. The first step is to prepare your original ID card and the soon-to-expire old driver's license. The second step is to go to the hospital for a physical examination, mainly an eye test. If you're nearsighted, remember to bring your glasses. The third step is to go to the DMV to take a photo, get the form, and fill in the information. Nowadays, many places allow you to do this on self-service machines. The fourth step is to hand the medical examination form and photo to the counter staff and pay a fee of 20-30 yuan. You can get your new license in about an hour. Note that you must do this within 90 days before your license expires. The DMV is especially crowded on weekends, so it's recommended to go on a weekday morning to save time. If you're out of town and can't return, you can apply for a delayed renewal, but remember to call ahead to inquire about the policy.

I'm familiar with the driver's license renewal process. First, bring your ID card and old license to a designated hospital for a physical exam, mainly checking vision and color blindness. When taking photos at the DMV, remember to wear dark-colored clothes as light colors may cause glare. Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" on-site. If you have any traffic violations, they must be settled before proceeding. The fee is just 20 yuan, payable in cash or via scan code. I find it very convenient now—the medical report and photos are directly transmitted online, unlike the old days when paper copies were required. It's best not to schedule important meetings on renewal day, as queues can sometimes take up to two hours. The new license is generally valid for six years, and the process is basically the same for both C1 and motorcycle licenses.

Three essentials for license renewal: ID card, old driver's license, and medical examination form. First, schedule a morning medical check-up to test vision, hearing, and limb coordination. If you have color weakness or high blood pressure, prepare medical certificates in advance. Then head to the DMV for photo-taking and queue number. Last time I used the Traffic Management 12123 APP for prior appointment and skipped the line. On-site photos cost ten yuan, or you can bring your own if the size is correct. Key point: If there are demerit points or unpaid fines, the system will directly reject the application. Alipay is the most convenient payment method at the counter, and the new license is usually issued within half an hour. Don't wait until the last minute—apply two months in advance to avoid unexpected delays in driving.

Just renewed my driver's license last week, the process was straightforward: Bring your documents straight to the designated hospital for a driver-specific physical exam, where your vision must meet the 4.9 standard. Don't forget to wear dark-colored clothes for the photo at the DMV, and make sure to clearly fill in your contact information on the application form on-site. I've seen people make a wasted trip because they forgot to handle traffic violations. Under the new policy, you can renew your license in a different location, and out-of-towners just need to bring their residence permit. The cost is just a nominal fee of a few dozen yuan, and remember to ask for an invoice. The whole process can be completed within two hours, and your old license will be collected upon renewal. It's advisable to avoid the end-of-the-month peak period when system slowdowns can affect the issuance speed.
