What to Do When Your Driver's License is About to Expire?

Directly renew it. The driver's license renewal can be processed three months in advance, and the renewal business can be handled within 90 days before the expiration date. Here are the things to pay attention to when renewing your driver's license: 1. Before renewing, make sure to handle all violations, pay fines, and clear all demerit points; otherwise, the vehicle management office will not issue the new license. 2. If you have been recorded with 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the validity period of your license, you will not be eligible for a license with a longer validity period. 3. If your driver's license has expired for less than one year, the renewal process will follow the normal procedure; if your license has expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, and you can renew it by passing the subject one exam; if it has expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed.

I just encountered the situation where my driver's license is about to expire. You can start preparing for renewal three months in advance. Remember to bring your original ID card and a few one-inch white background photos. It's best to get a medical check-up report from the hospital beforehand, as the DMV will need to check your vision, among other things. I recommend using a mobile app to book an appointment time, so you don't have to wait in long lines when you go. The cost is low, just a few dozen yuan for the processing fee, saving both time and effort. Driving with an expired license is illegal and can result in fines or even points deducted, so don't procrastinate—head to your local DMV as soon as possible. The whole process can be done in half an hour if it goes smoothly, and with the new license in hand, you can drive with peace of mind.

Don't worry if your driver's license is about to expire. I was busy with work, so I handled it online in my spare time. Just download the Traffic Management 12123 app, upload your ID and photo as prompted, and the system will review your documents. Then, make a small payment online. The medical check-up can also be done on self-service machines at designated hospitals, and the new license will be delivered to your home, which is super convenient. However, make sure to start the application at least 30 days in advance. If it expires, you won't be able to drive, which is unsafe and adds trouble. Pack some snacks for the road, and don’t forget to check the service locations in advance. The whole process takes little time, saving you effort to spend with your family for an outing.

My driver's license is about to expire and needs urgent attention. Driving with an expired license carries significant risks, and insurance may not cover accidents in such cases. Before heading to the DMV, make sure to bring all required materials, such as a health certificate and identification documents. Call ahead to confirm the location of the service center to avoid unnecessary trips. The process is straightforward—just fill out forms, pay the fee, and receive the new license. Don't wait until the last minute when crowds and long lines can make it exhausting. Safety first—don't take risks.
