What to Do If Your Driver's License Expires and Is Not Renewed in Time?

[LaMiranda]

If your driver's license has expired for less than one year, you can go to the vehicle management office with your expired driver's license, ID card, and a health certificate to complete the renewal procedure. If it has expired for more than one year but less than three years, you need to take the subject one exam, and upon passing, you can renew your license. If it has expired for more than three years, the driver's license will be automatically canceled, and you will need to re-enroll in a driving school to obtain a new one. Here are some important notes regarding driver's license usage: 1. Driver's licenses have an expiration date: A driver's license is only valid for driving legally if it is within its validity period. If your license has expired and you haven't 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 available within a 12-month period. Be sure to avoid accumulating all 12 points within this timeframe, as you will then need to attend a training session at the local vehicle management office and pass an exam. If you fail the exam, you must retake it until you pass before you can reclaim your license.
