What to Do When Driver's License Review Expires?

Visit the local vehicle management office to process it. During the annual review, you need to fill out the motor vehicle driver's license application form as required. You need to provide the original and a copy of the applicant's identity proof. If the driver is represented by an agent, the original and a copy of the agent's identity proof must also be submitted. You need to pay fees such as the processing cost.
Don't panic when your driver's license is due for renewal. Last time, I started handling it a month before expiration. Just go to the local DMV or make an online appointment via the 12123 app, bringing your original ID card, old driver's license, a one-inch white-background photo, and a medical examination report. The medical check is mandatory—visit designated hospitals to test vision and hearing, ensuring your physical condition complies. The process is straightforward: first, get the medical report, then submit materials at the DMV, take a new photo, and pay a small fee (around a few dozen yuan). You’ll receive your new license in about half an hour. If you’re late renewing it, driving without a valid license risks a 200-yuan fine, penalty points, and potential insurance denial in case of an accident. I recommend starting preparations 90 days in advance to avoid forgetting. Weekday mornings are best to skip holiday crowds. Remember, the new license is valid for 10 years—keep an eye on your health to avoid issues later.
