1 Answers
An expired out-of-town driver's license can be renewed in the same location where it was issued. Methods for out-of-town renewal: Apply for renewal at the local vehicle management office; Use the "Traffic Management 12123" APP for renewal. Download the app, select Service Center -- Expired License Renewal Service -- fill in the required information. The new license is usually delivered by mail. Visit a "Police-Medical-Post" service point at a postal office for renewal. The entire process, from registration and medical examination to the production of the new license, takes only about half an hour. Currently, this service is available in only a few cities, such as Hangzhou. Driver's License Validity Period: Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": If a driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If they continue to avoid accumulating 12 points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid license. Rules for License Invalidation: If expired for less than one year, the license can be renewed normally; if expired for one to three years, the license is revoked but can be renewed by passing the first subject test; if expired for over three years, the license becomes invalid and cannot be renewed.
