What to Do When Your Motor Vehicle Driver's License Expires?

[GrahamLynn]

You can apply for an extension when your driver's license expires; if you fail to renew your motor vehicle driver's license for more than one year after its expiration, the license will be revoked. Renewal Introduction: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period of the driver's license, they can renew it for a 10-year validity period. How to Renew an Expired Driver's License: "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," which requires the applicant's signature; the motor vehicle driver's license and the owner's relevant documents; the driver's identity proof (original and copy); if the applicant cannot be present, a jointly signed application form by the applicant and the agent, along with the identity proofs of both (original and copy), must be submitted.

When my driver's license was about to expire, I went to the DMV to renew it. I brought my ID card, old driver's license, and a one-inch photo. I also had to undergo a simple on-site health check, which included vision and general health tests, with a low examination fee. Then I filled out an application form, and after a few days, the new license was mailed to me with an extended validity period, making it hassle-free and cost-effective. You can still renew it within three months after expiration, but don't wait until it's expired to drive—getting caught could result in points deducted, fines, and even affect insurance claims. Always keep an eye on your license's expiration date to avoid last-minute panic.

Renewing the license is very convenient. I did it online using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After uploading photos and information, I scheduled a medical examination. Once completed, the new license was directly delivered to my home by express. The medical examination location can be checked on the phone, and the cost is just a few dozen yuan. Note that you have up to one year after the first expiration to handle it, but don't let it expire as driving with an expired license significantly increases accident liability. The validity of the new license depends on age, and experienced drivers may get up to ten years. It's better to renew early for peace of mind.

Renew your driver's license immediately upon expiration. Prepare your ID card, original driver's license, photos, and medical examination report (including vision test), then apply at the vehicle management office. After on-site approval, you'll receive the new license with low fees. You can still renew within three months after expiration, otherwise it will be considered as driving without a license and may result in fines. It is recommended to handle it 30 days in advance for safety, and avoid risky driving.

I just renewed my license. Before it expires, go to the designated hospital for a physical exam (vision and hearing tests), bring all required materials to the DMV window, and it'll be done in half an hour. The new license is valid for either 6 or 10 years, depending on physical condition. Late renewal requires extra procedures, and driving without a license puts you at a disadvantage in case of an accident, so don't delay—set a phone reminder for the expiry date.
