The specific address is at 331 Meipu Road. Below is the relevant information: Renewal: To renew the new version of the driver's license, bring two copies of ID card, two 1-inch color passport photos without a hat, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). Go to the vehicle management office. After filling out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", you can renew the license for free. Handling of expired driver's license: If the license has expired for less than one year, it can be renewed normally; if it has expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be renewed by passing the subject one test; if it has expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed; during the expired period, driving a motor vehicle is not allowed, otherwise it can be treated as driving without a license.
My experience renewing my driver's license in Baoshan went quite smoothly. The location is at the Baoshan Traffic Police Detachment, specifically No. 200 Changjiang West Road. The place is easy to find, and when I arrived around 8 a.m., there were still parking spots available, saving me the hassle of searching for a parking lot. For the renewal, you need to bring your original ID card, old driver's license, medical examination report, and a one-inch photo. I forgot the photo and had to rush to a nearby photo studio, which was a bit of a hassle. I recommend making an online appointment in advance through the 'One-Stop Service' to avoid long queues. The whole process was quick—after submitting the materials, I got my new license in about half an hour. Avoid weekends as it gets too crowded; weekdays save you at least an hour of waiting. The cost is affordable, just a few dozen yuan. Most importantly, don’t wait until it expires—safety comes first when driving on the road.
I've been working in Baoshan for several years and have visited the vehicle management office multiple times to renew my driver's license. The Baoshan Traffic Police Brigade is located at No. 200 Changjiang West Road. Simply download the Shanghai Traffic Police APP on your phone, make an appointment by filling in your personal information and selecting a time slot, then scan the QR code on-site for entry—super convenient and avoids long queues. Remember to prepare all required materials in advance to avoid missing anything. On my first attempt, I forgot my medical examination report and had to make a wasted trip, which was frustrating. I recommend getting the medical report done at a designated hospital or clinic beforehand. The entire renewal process is automated with machine assistance, making it quick and efficient—it takes about half an hour to complete. Weekends are crowded and chaotic, so it's better to go early on a weekday morning. Parking spaces are limited, so arrive early to secure a spot or consider taking public transportation.
