When a driver's license has not been renewed for one month after expiration, you should promptly visit the relevant department to handle the renewal. However, if you continue to drive a motor vehicle with an expired license, you will be fined between 200 and 500 yuan. Below is a detailed introduction regarding the situation of not renewing a driver's license for one month after expiration: 1. Penalty method: Article 95 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates: If a motor vehicle driver obtains a replacement driver's license through concealment or deception while the original license is lawfully seized, detained, or temporarily suspended, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall impose a fine of between 200 and 500 yuan. 2. Others: If a motor vehicle driver's physical condition changes and becomes unsuitable for driving, yet they continue to drive, or if they fail to undergo the required review and still drive, and meet the corresponding conditions, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall revoke the motor vehicle driver's license.
Oh, I've experienced the situation where my driver's license expired for a month without renewal. At that time, I was too busy with work and simply forgot until a friend reminded me. I rushed to the DMV to handle it, and as soon as I arrived, I got a little lecture and was fined 50 yuan. The staff asked me to submit my ID card, a copy of my old license, and a medical report. After completing the paperwork, I got my new license in just two days. The whole process was actually quite quick, but it was a hassle to make an extra trip. The lesson learned is that now I set an annual reminder on my phone and prepare the renewal materials a month in advance. Also, never drive during the overdue period—if caught by traffic police, it counts as driving without a license, and you might face point deductions or liability in case of an accident. In short, if you realize it late, don’t panic—just go and get it done immediately.
