When the driver's license expires, you can apply for an extension. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. License renewal period: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, they can be issued a new license with a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can be issued a long-term valid driver's license. 2. Examination content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Before each subject test, an appointment must be made (special circumstances can be scheduled through the driving test green channel), and the test is taken after the appointment.
Last time my driver's license was about to expire, as a busy office worker, I quickly renewed it through the Traffic Management 12123 app. The process was quite simple: first, I went to a partnered hospital for a quick physical exam checking vision and color recognition, which took only ten minutes; then I uploaded a white-background photo and a scanned copy of my ID; after paying a small fee of around ten yuan online, the new license was delivered to my home in two or three days. This online method saves time and avoids long queues, making it especially suitable for us nine-to-fivers. Remember to start the renewal process three months in advance to avoid late fees or retaking the theoretical exam. Driving with the new license feels much more secure – safe driving is fundamental.
