Where is the location for driver's license renewal?

Driver's license renewal can be processed at the following locations: the driver's license service windows at the Vehicle Management Office, Driver's License Processing Centers, and Vehicle Management Offices in various counties (cities, districts). Here are some important notes: 1. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the Vehicle Management Office where the license was originally issued within 90 days before the expiration date; 2. If the license has expired but not exceeded 11 months, renewal can be applied for through online platforms; 3. If the license has been expired for more than 11 months but less than 1 year, you must apply for renewal at the Vehicle Management Office where the license was originally issued.
Last time my driver's license expired, I specifically went to the city's DMV to get it renewed. There were quite a lot of people there, so I'd recommend going early. Just bring your ID card, old driver's license, a few white-background photos, and a medical examination certificate. Nowadays some post offices can also handle the renewal, saving you a long trip. I checked the address and working hours in advance - usually Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with a fee around 80 yuan. The new license gets mailed to your home within a few weeks, so remember to check your mailbox promptly. I heard online that you can apply through an app, but I prefer face-to-face service - it feels more reliable. You can renew it up to 90 days in advance, so don't procrastinate and affect your driving.
I prefer using the 'Traffic Management 12123' app for driver's license renewal—it's fast and convenient. After downloading, register an account with real-name authentication, enter the service section to upload ID card, old license photos, and e-medical reports. It takes just minutes to complete the form and pay for shipping. If you prefer offline, visit local vehicle management offices or traffic stations, many open on weekends. Remember to bring all documents to avoid multiple trips—medical checks can be done quickly at designated hospital points. The app saves time, with new licenses mailed directly—perfect for busy people.
I went directly to the nearest vehicle management office to apply for a license replacement. The required documents were simple: original ID card, current driver's license, one photo, and a medical examination report. They provided self-service machines, making form filling and fee payment a breeze, with a cost of 80 yuan. Going early when it's less crowded speeds up the process, and the new license can be collected the same day or mailed. Similar locations are common in urban areas, just search using a map. Remember to avoid peak hours on weekdays to skip the hassle of queuing.
