Last time my cousin forgot to renew his driver's license until two months after it expired, but the process wasn't as complicated as imagined. Just bring your ID card and the original license to the DMV, with the key step being to get a supplementary medical examination report – you can finish it at a nearby networked hospital in about half an hour. Nowadays, DMVs have self-service photo booths, making it convenient to take ID photos on the spot. I heard that driving within one year of expiration doesn't count as unlicensed driving, but it's better not to risk driving on the road! When filling out the application form on-site, staff will remind you to scan the QR code on the Traffic Management 12123 app for payment, with a fee of about ten yuan. When I accompanied him, the place was packed, and we ended up waiting in line for two hours – I'd recommend going early or choosing a weekday.
