What to Do If Driver's License Annual Review is Overdue?
2 Answers
For individuals who continue to drive a motor vehicle with an overdue driver's license annual review, their motor vehicle driver's license will be confiscated according to the law, and they will be fined. The vehicle owner or unit must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Form" and send it to the designated location for annual inspection on the date specified by the local vehicle management office.
Overdue driver's license annual review is indeed troublesome. I've encountered this situation once before. Never consider continuing to drive on the road - if caught by police, you'll face point deductions and fines. The safest approach is to immediately bring your ID card and original driver's license to the DMV to complete the overdue review procedures. Staff may first issue a ticket for late processing, and you'll need to pay the fine before proceeding with the normal annual review. Depending on how long it's overdue, you might need to retake the written test (Subject 1). Remember to check your license status, as some jurisdictions will directly revoke licenses that are over one year overdue. Afterwards, it's best to set an annual reminder in your phone calendar one month in advance of the review date - you can also check expiration times through the DMV app. If you're working in another city and can't easily return, many cities now support cross-regional processing of these services.
