2 Answers
To renew your driver's license, you can go to the nearest vehicle management office. Below is the relevant information for driver's license renewal: Renewal period: You can apply for renewal within 90 days before the expiration date. If you accidentally forget the date, you can still renew your license after it expires. There is also a latest deadline for renewal after expiration. If it has been less than one year since expiration, you can follow the normal renewal process; if it has been between one and three years since expiration, the license will be canceled, but you can still renew it by passing the subject one exam; if it has been more than three years since expiration, the license will become invalid and cannot be renewed. Renewal conditions: You must have resolved all road traffic safety violations and not accumulated 12 or more points within a scoring cycle.
I just went to the Haikou Traffic Police Detachment Vehicle Management Office to renew my driver's license a few days ago. The place is located on Nanhai Avenue, and you can find it directly by searching 'Traffic Police Detachment' on your navigation app. Parking spaces are tight when driving there, so I recommend arriving before 8 a.m. to avoid queues. Bring your original ID card, old driver's license, two white-background photos, and a medical report—the medical check can be done on-site and takes just a few minutes. The staff were quite friendly; after filling out an application form and submitting it, the new license was ready in about half an hour. The overall process was smooth, though it can be a bit time-consuming when crowded, but it's worth it for safe driving. The office is open on weekdays, with only half-day service on weekends. You can also make an appointment online via the Hainan Traffic Police WeChat official account, which is convenient and hassle-free. As an experienced driver with over a decade behind the wheel, I found the service reliable, with accurate key information to avoid unnecessary trips.
