What procedures are required for renewing a C1 driver's license upon expiration?
2 Answers
Procedures require preparing the original ID card and one copy; a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a designated medical institution; three 1-inch white background bareheaded photos. Then take the above materials to the local vehicle management office for processing. First, take a number, receive and fill out the application form, and paste the photo after filling it out. Then wait in the hall for the number to be called and go to the counter for processing. After processing, go to the certificate-making office to pay the handling fee. The new motor vehicle driver's license can be collected after 3 working days.
I just renewed my C1 driver's license not long ago, and I realized that early preparation is crucial. You can start the renewal process 90 days before expiration. I needed to bring my original ID card, old driver's license, and two one-inch white background photos (ears must be visible, no hats allowed). The medical check-up must be done at designated hospitals, including vision tests and color blindness tests (fasting required), with reports valid for three months. I pre-uploaded materials for review via the 'Traffic Management 12123' app to save queuing time. At the DMV, I filled out a simple form, paid a 10-yuan fee for the new license, took an ID photo on-site, and received the new license by mail within days. Pro tip: renew early to avoid penalties for late renewal (which requires retaking the theory test) and to identify potential health issues during the check-up. Total cost was around 50 yuan, including the medical exam.
