What to do if the driver's license is overdue for one month?
2 Answers
If the driver's license has been expired for less than 12 months, you can go through the renewal process as usual. However, if it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, you will need to retake the subject one exam to renew the license. After passing the exam, you can obtain the driver's license. If the license has been expired for more than three years, you will need to reapply for a driver's license. During the expired period, you are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle, otherwise, it can be treated as driving without a license. No annual review is required within the 6-year validity period of the driver's license. The driver should go to the local traffic police branch to renew the license within 90 days before the expiration date.
My driver's license has been expired for a month, so I need to deal with it promptly. First, stop driving immediately, as driving with an expired license is illegal and may result in a fine of 200-500 yuan or points deduction. Then, prepare my ID card, recent one-inch photo, and possibly a medical examination report, and go to the local DMV to complete the renewal procedures. There will be a small fine for the overdue period, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, so bring some cash just in case. After renewing the license, don’t forget to check if the vehicle insurance also needs to be updated to avoid affecting claims. Set a phone reminder to renew it one month before the expiration date to save trouble. This is as important as regular car maintenance—safety first when driving. Deal with the overdue issue promptly to avoid higher fines for prolonged delays.
