What to Do When Your Driver's License Expires During the Grace Period?
1 Answers
If your driver's license has been expired for less than 1 year, you can still renew it normally, but you cannot drive on the road before renewal. The validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years, 10 years, or permanent. You should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued within 90 days before the expiration date. If your driver's license has been expired for more than 1 year but less than 3 years, it falls under the "revocable but recoverable" category, and you can restore your driving qualification after passing the subject 1 exam. If your driver's license has been expired for more than 3 years, you will have to "start from scratch" and retake the driving test to obtain a new license.
