What to Do If You Forgot to Renew Your Expired Driver's License?
1 Answers
If your driver's license has been expired for less than a year, you can still renew it normally. You should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued as soon as possible. When applying, you need to fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." If the license has been expired for more than a year without renewal, the traffic management department will cancel it according to the law. For licenses expired for less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore their driving qualification. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be completely canceled. To drive again, the driver must retake the entire driver's license exam and cannot simply renew the license. Normal renewal process: The driver should bring the required materials to the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued. The office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Renewal materials: Bring two copies of your ID card, two 1-inch recent color photos without hats, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examination is also available at the vehicle management office).
