If your C1 driver's license has expired, you must deal with it promptly to avoid fines if caught by the police. I almost forgot because of my busy work schedule before, and driving with an expired license counts as unlicensed driving, which carries significant risks. The first step is to check the expiration date—if it's been less than a year, it's easier to handle. Bring your ID card, original driver's license, and a one-inch photo to the local DMV to apply for a replacement. You may need to undergo a simple medical checkup, including an eye test. If it's been over a year, you'll have to retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1). I recommend setting a reminder on your phone in advance to avoid repeating the mistake. Keep an eye on DMV announcements—some places now offer online appointments to save queuing time. In short, don’t delay, and avoid driving before resolving the issue—safety comes first.

My C1 driver's license gave me a scare when it expired last year, but thankfully nothing serious happened. The process to renew it isn't complicated, but first, don't drive to avoid getting caught. Quickly go to the DMV to follow the procedure: bring your ID, a photo of your old license, and a few personal photos, then schedule a check-up at a medical center for vision and hearing tests. If it's been expired for less than a year, the renewal is quick—you'll get your new license in a week. If it's been longer, you'll need to retake the theory test; my friend spent some time reviewing the questions. It's a good idea to set an annual vehicle inspection reminder and also keep an eye on your license's expiration date to prevent it from expiring. The staff at the DMV are very friendly and efficient. Nowadays, there are also apps to check your license status—download an official app to monitor it anytime, which is even more convenient.

An expired driver's license is a serious matter – stop driving immediately. For C1 licenses, the key factor is time: Less than one year expired? Hurry to the DMV for renewal. Just bring ID materials, photos, and complete a physical exam. Over one year expired? You'll need to retake the written test. Don't drive before handling this – the risks are too high.
