What to Do If the Driver's License Expires Without Annual Review?
2 Answers
Driver's licenses do not require annual review; they only need to be renewed upon expiration. Below is relevant information about expired driver's licenses: 1. Documents required for renewal: First, you need to provide the ID card of the motor vehicle driver, a physical examination certificate of the driver, and four one-inch bareheaded photos of the driver. Then, you can apply for renewal at the vehicle management office or the traffic police brigade. You can also renew the motor vehicle driver's license by registering with the traffic management system, choosing the specific renewal method based on your situation. 2. Where to go for the renewal physical examination: The renewal physical examination must be conducted at a medical institution designated by the vehicle management office. The driver's physical examination is very necessary. Only when the physical conditions permit can one drive a motor vehicle, which is also a way to be responsible for oneself and others.
I recently encountered the situation where my driver's license expired without annual review. It had just been three months overdue, and I was really worried. I immediately stopped driving, otherwise it would be considered unlicensed driving, which could result in fines, points deduction, or even detention. I quickly went to the local DMV to inquire, and they told me to bring my original ID card, a one-inch photo, and a medical examination certificate, then fill out an application form. If the delay is less than a year, you just need to pay a small fine of a few dozen yuan to get a new license. The whole process took me a whole morning, and there were quite a lot of people, so I recommend going early to queue. Since I’m usually busy with work and tend to forget things, I now set reminders on my phone calendar and installed the 12123 APP to check the validity period anytime. Safety comes first—I won’t dare to be careless next time.
