What to Do If Your Driver's License Expires for Three Months?
2 Answers
If your driver's license has expired for three months, you can still renew it normally, but you are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle. If the license is not renewed for more than one year after its expiration date, it will be revoked. The driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration date of the driver's license. Steps for renewing a driver's license: 1. Submit the motor vehicle driver's license application form and prepare all required documents; 2. Submit a medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above; 3. Queue up at the vehicle management office to get a number; 4. Submit documents and pay fees at the service window; 5. Collect the new license at the issuing window.
I've also experienced my driver's license expiring for three months. At that time, I didn't notice the date and it expired, which really gave me a scare. First, you must stop driving immediately, otherwise it's considered driving without a license and you could face fines or even detention. I suggest going to the local DMV as soon as possible with your ID card, old driver's license, and a one-inch photo. You might also need a physical exam or test. If it's been expired for less than a year, you can usually just renew it directly, but you'll need to complete the necessary procedures. Don't delay, or the police could give you even bigger trouble if they catch you driving. In case of an accident, the insurance company won't cover it, which is not worth the risk. It's important to regularly check your driver's license expiration date. I set a reminder on my phone and do it along with my car's annual inspection to avoid forgetting. Safety first—don't create problems for yourself.
