Where can I renew my driver's license?

You can renew your driver's license in the following two ways: 1. Offline window processing, which means the driver needs to go to the local vehicle management office. The driver can bring the original ID card, original driver's license, personal photos, etc. to the corresponding management window for processing. 2. Online internet platform, which means applying through the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After logging in to the Traffic Management 12123 APP, click the "Renew Driver's License Upon Expiration" in the business center to enter the business process of renewing the driver's license upon expiration. Follow the system prompts to submit the driver's license photo online, carefully read the business instructions for renewing the license upon expiration, confirm personal information, and finally choose between self-pickup or mailing.

I recently renewed my driver's license at the DMV, and the whole process went smoothly. Before going, you need to prepare your original ID card, old driver's license, medical examination form, and white-background ID photos. The medical exam can be done at a hospital or using the self-service medical examination machine at the DMV, mainly checking vision and color blindness. Many cities now offer cross-region services, so people like me with household registration elsewhere can directly handle it at the local DMV without returning to their hometown. Besides the DMV, some places also have traffic police station service points and 24-hour self-service machines. Specific addresses can be checked on the Traffic Management 12123 App. Online applications are also convenient—after uploading photos and documents, the new license will be mailed to your home, which is great for busy office workers who don’t want to make the trip. Note that you can apply up to 90 days before expiration, so don’t wait until the last minute and rush around.

Nowadays, there are many channels to renew your driver's license, and I highly recommend using the Traffic Management 12123 APP for online processing. First, complete a medical examination at a hospital (a simple check of vision and hearing), then open the APP to upload the front and back of your ID card, a white-background photo, and the medical report. Just choose to have it mailed to your home, and the whole process is hassle-free without needing to step outside. If you prefer offline processing, you can visit the local vehicle management office or government service center, but remember to make an appointment in advance to avoid queuing. Some cities have also opened police-post cooperation points where you can bring your materials to a nearby postal outlet for direct processing. A reminder to everyone: make sure to settle all traffic violations before renewing your license, and start preparing three months before your license expires. The cost is just a few dozen yuan for the processing fee. Now that the system is nationwide, even non-local residents don’t need to go back and forth.

If you want to renew your driver's license, check these locations: Each district generally has a vehicle management office. Bring your ID card and old license to fill out an application form. First, undergo a physical exam mainly testing vision—if you're nearsighted, you must wear glasses to meet the standard. Prepare the physical exam report and submit a recent passport-style photo, and your new license will be ready in about half an hour. Services have been upgraded now, and many cities' government service centers can also handle this. Another new option is using self-service kiosks for renewal—my community has a 24-hour self-service hall where you can swipe your ID, take a photo, and complete the physical exam all in one go. Note that if your old license has expired, you'll need to retake the written test (Subject One), so it's safest to renew it one month in advance.
