What to Do If You Forgot to Renew Your Driver's License?

[Enid]

If you forgot to renew your driver's license but it has not exceeded one year, you can go to the vehicle management office with your expired driver's license, ID card, and a physical condition certificate to complete the renewal procedures. If you forgot to renew it for more than one year but less than three years, you need to take the Subject 1 test, and upon passing, you can renew your license. If you forgot to renew it for more than three years, the driver's license will be automatically revoked, and you will need to go back to driving school to obtain a new license. Below are some precautions for using a driver's license: 1. Driver's licenses have an expiration date: A driver's license is only valid for driving legally if it is within the validity period. If your license has expired and you have not renewed it, driving with it is considered illegal. 2. Avoid accumulating 12 penalty points within 12 months: A driver's license has 12 penalty points within a 12-month period. Be sure to avoid accumulating all 12 points within this timeframe; otherwise, you will need to attend training at the local vehicle management office and take a test afterward. If you fail the test, you must retake it until you pass before you can retrieve your license.
