What to Do If the Driver's License Has Not Been Inspected?
2 Answers
Go to the vehicle management office to renew the license. If the driver's license has not been inspected for more than one year but less than two years, you need to retake the subject one exam and pass it before renewing the license. If the driver's license has not been inspected for more than two years, you must re-enroll in a driving school, pass all three subject exams, and obtain a new driver's license. Here are some precautions regarding the renewal of an expired driver's license: 1. The applicant should truthfully submit the required materials to the vehicle management office, declare the specified items honestly, and be responsible for the authenticity of the substantive content of the application materials; 2. The applicant should meet the application conditions specified in the regulations for the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses.
Just two days ago, I realized my driver's license had expired without renewal, so I rushed to the DMV to handle it. Remember to bring your original ID card and a copy, the old driver's license, and a medical examination report. The DMV is quite crowded now, so I recommend making an online appointment in advance to save time. The process is simple: fill out an application form, pay the fee, take a photo, and you'll get the new license on the same day. Don’t delay—if it’s expired for more than a year, you’ll have to retake the written test (Subject 1). If caught driving without a valid license, a fine is the least of your worries—your car could even be impounded. Set a phone reminder to avoid forgetting this. Also, keep an eye on updates from the traffic management app, as many services have moved online.
