If your driver's license has been expired for more than one year and you forgot to renew it, the traffic management department will cancel it according to the law. The driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore their driving qualification. Renewal time regulations: If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be renewed normally; if it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but you can renew it by passing the subject one exam; if it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Penalty regulations for expired driver's licenses: You are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle during the expiration period, otherwise, it will be treated as driving without a license. If your driver's license has been expired for less than one year, although you can renew it at any time, driving on the road will result in a 200 yuan fine. If your driver's license has been expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will cancel it according to the law. If the expiration period is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore their driving qualification. During this period, driving on the road will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. If your driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be completely canceled. If the driver wants to drive again, they must retake the driver's license exam. Otherwise, driving on the road will be treated as driving without a license, resulting in a 2000 yuan fine and up to 15 days of administrative detention.
