What to Do When Your Driver's License Expires After 6 Years?
2 Answers
When your driver's license expires after 6 years, you need to renew it. The steps are as follows: 1. Medical Examination: There is usually a motor vehicle driver's medical examination center near the vehicle management office. After registration by the staff, undergo the examination. Upon completion, you will receive two forms, one of which requires a photo to be attached; 2. Bring the two medical examination forms, original and copy of your ID card, and the old driver's license, and wait for your number to be called. The staff will provide a printed application form, which requires a photo to be attached and your signature; 3. After receiving the application form, go to the payment window to pay the fee. Take the receipt and return to the original processing window. Submit the materials, and the staff will print a new driver's license; 4. Take the new driver's license and a photo to the lamination window, where the staff will laminate the photo into the driver's license.
When it comes to driver's license renewal, I'm a seasoned driver—I've renewed mine several times since I started driving. Once the 6-year validity period is up, don’t delay. First, get a medical checkup at a hospital to prove you're fit to drive. Then, bring your original ID card, a copy of it, your old license, the medical certificate, and a few one-inch photos to the local DMV for processing. Many cities now support online appointments, saving you from long queues—super convenient. Remember, you absolutely cannot drive during the renewal process; getting caught could mean a hefty fine. The whole process can be done in a day or two if things go smoothly, and once you get your new license, just double-check the expiration date. My advice? Start preparing three months before expiration to avoid last-minute chaos. Safe driving starts with good health.
