What to do if the driver's license is overdue for one month without renewal
2 Answers
The remedial measure for a driver's license that has been overdue for one month without renewal is to apply for an extension. If the driver's license is not renewed for more than one year after the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license, the motor vehicle driver's license will be revoked; the maximum extension period shall not exceed three years. During the extension period, the motor vehicle driver is not allowed to drive a motor vehicle. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, if a motor vehicle driver is unable to renew the driver's license within the specified time due to reasons such as military service or going abroad, they can apply for an extension at the vehicle management office of the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued. When applying, an application form should be filled out, and the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and proof of the reason for the extension should be submitted.
I personally experienced the situation where my driver's license expired for a month without renewal. At that time, I was busy with work and forgot the deadline, but I immediately went to the vehicle management office to handle it once I realized. The process was quite simple: first, go to a designated hospital for a physical examination and obtain a health certificate; then bring my ID card, old driver's license, and two recent photos to the vehicle management office to fill out the application form; pay a small fee of a few dozen yuan, and the new license was mailed within a week. If the expiration period is short, you can usually renew it directly, but avoid driving during this time to prevent risks and fines. I recommend setting a phone reminder next time to avoid repeating the hassle. I usually maintain my car well, but I neglected document management. After this incident, I downloaded an app to track all my document expiration dates—safety first, no carelessness. The whole process was quick and not too troublesome.
