For license renewal upon expiration, you need to carry the required materials and choose either online or offline methods to apply according to the corresponding procedures. The materials required for driver's license renewal are as follows: Bring two copies of ID card, two 1-inch recent color photos without hats, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). The procedures for driver's license renewal are as follows: The motor vehicle driver shall bring the required materials to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Renewal in other locations and other methods: In addition to applying for renewal at the vehicle management office, you can also apply for renewal through the following methods: Renewal via the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, select Service Center--License Renewal Service--Fill in the information. The new license is generally delivered by mail. Go to the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at the postal business hall to apply for renewal.

Just got my driver's license renewed - fresh experience to share! Required documents are simple: bring original ID, current license, and several 1-inch white background photos. Get a basic medical checkup at designated hospitals, focusing on passing the vision test. Nowadays everything's done online - download the Traffic Management 12123 APP, upload documents and you're set, no need to queue at DMV. Remember to apply several days early, don't wait till expiration date as driving with expired license incurs fines. The whole process takes less than a week, with new license conveniently mailed home. Wear your glasses during the vision test, otherwise you'll have to retake it. As a young person, I recommend using apps - saves time and effort.
