What to Do When the Supplementary Page of the Driver's License Expires?
2 Answers
There is no need to replace the supplementary page of the driver's license after it expires. Relevant information is as follows: 1. No replacement required: A C1 driver's license after the probationary period does not need to be replaced. The validity period marked on the main page of the driver's license is the standard, and the probationary period marked on the supplementary page will no longer be subject to driving restrictions after the probationary period ends. Drivers with C1 (excluding) and above licenses need to take an exam after the probationary period ends. Upon passing the exam, the supplementary page of the driver's license will be endorsed for confirmation. 2. Safety education: For those who newly obtain licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, within thirty days after the probationary period ends, they must participate in exams on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, and other knowledge, and receive no less than half an hour of traffic accident case safety education.
I just handled the renewal of my driver's license duplicate page last month, and it was quite simple to do it myself. The first step is to confirm the expiration date of the duplicate page and jot it down in a notebook so you don't forget. Then, make sure to visit the local vehicle management office ahead of time—don't wait until the last day to avoid fines or delays in driving. Preparing the required materials is crucial: bring your original ID card, both the main and duplicate pages of your old driver's license, and two one-inch, white-background, bareheaded color photos. It's recommended to take these photos in advance to save money. If the vehicle management office has a photo service, that works too, though you might have to queue up briefly. Once there, fill out an application form, and after a quick review by the staff, your duplicate page will be updated. The whole process took about half an hour—pretty efficient. The key is to ensure all information is accurate, avoiding mistakes like incorrect names or mismatched photos. In short, handling it promptly on your own is hassle-free, with no complicated technicalities involved.
