Driver's license renewal can be processed at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued. Alternatively, you can renew it through the Traffic Management 12123 APP or at the "Police-Medical-Post" service points in postal business halls. The specific procedures are as follows: Vehicle Management Office Renewal Process: The driver should bring the required materials to the vehicle management office where the license was issued to apply for renewal. The office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Traffic Management 12123 APP Renewal: Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expired License Renewal Service -- Fill in the required information. The new license is usually delivered by mail. Visit the "Police-Medical-Post" service points in postal business halls for renewal. The process, from registration and medical examination to the production of the new license, takes only half an hour. Currently, this service is only available in a few cities, such as Hangzhou.

Let me share with you that going directly to the local DMV is the most reliable way when your driver's license is about to expire. I've renewed mine several times—just bring your ID card, old driver's license, medical exam report, and a one-inch photo. The medical exam can be done quickly at a clinic partnered with the DMV or a nearby hospital. At the DMV, first take a number and wait in line, then fill out a simple form and submit your documents. After the staff checks everything, pay the processing fee, and you can collect your new license in a few days. I recommend going early in the morning to avoid crowds and save time. Also, don’t forget to take a clear photo in advance or have it taken on-site. The whole process is free and transparent, and you can also inquire about other vehicle-related matters while you're there. For safety, avoid driving with an expired license before renewing it.

I found it very convenient to renew my driver's license online. For busy people like me, using a mobile app gets the job done. Just download the official local DMV app or visit their website, register and log in, then select the license renewal service and upload your medical report and photo. Payment can be made via Alipay or WeChat, and the new license will be mailed to your home in a few days, saving you the hassle of queuing. Remember to schedule your medical check-up at a DMV-designated clinic to ensure the vision test is accurate. The app also features a progress tracking function, with a simple interface and clear instructions. You can complete the process during work breaks without disrupting your daily life. Similar services are also available in the Alipay Citizen Center, which integrates these functions seamlessly.

As a newly licensed driver, I visited the DMV. I brought my ID card and old driver's license, and had already completed the medical check-up and photos. The process was straightforward: the front desk guided me through filling out forms, submitting materials, and paying fees. The staff assisted efficiently, offering options to pick up the new license in person or have it mailed. The entire process took about half an hour, making for a comfortable experience. The DMV had waiting areas with seats, and it's advisable to arrive early to avoid waiting.
