Where to Apply for a Fuzhou Driver's License Renewal?
4 Answers
You can go to the local vehicle management office to apply for a new license. Below is the relevant information for driver's license renewal: 1. Required materials: original driver's license, original and copy of ID card, four one-inch color photos with white background and no hat, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above people's hospital. 2. Notes: For driver's license renewal upon expiration, it can be normally renewed if it does not exceed one year. If it exceeds one year, the system will automatically change the driver's license status to 'revocable for recovery,' which requires passing a theoretical test to restore the license. If it exceeds two years, an additional road test is required. If it exceeds three years, the license will be directly revoked. Therefore, be careful not to exceed one year under any circumstances, as it can still be normally renewed within one year; secondly, never drive, otherwise, the traffic police will treat it as driving without a license.
Last year, I renewed my driver's license in Fuzhou after several trips to the vehicle management office. The main location was the Vehicle Management Office of the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Detachment, located at No. 10 Dongling Road, Jinshan Street, Cangshan District, which has dedicated windows for license renewal. Remember to bring your original ID card, old driver's license, and a pre-done medical examination report from designated hospitals like Fuzhou First Hospital. You can make an appointment on the 12123 APP to avoid long queues. The on-site process was smooth, but it gets crowded during peak hours, so I recommend going early on Monday or Tuesday. The new license can be issued on the spot after renewal, which is much more convenient.
As a working professional, I hate wasting time, and renewing my driver's license in Fuzhou can be mostly done on my phone. Using the 12123 app, I uploaded my ID card and driver's license photos, filled in the information, and submitted the application. After the background review, I just needed to visit a designated location, such as the district offices (like Gulou or Taijiang), to collect the new license. The addresses are easy to find, as the app provides navigation. The key is to bring the original medical report for on-site confirmation—the whole process takes about half an hour. You can also book an appointment online in advance at the district vehicle management office. Last time, I chose the Cangshan location—it was convenient to drive there, with plenty of parking spaces. Skipping an extra trip to the office was a real relief.
To renew your driver's license in Fuzhou, you can go to the Vehicle Management Office, the Traffic Police Department of Fuzhou Public Security Bureau, or branch offices in various districts. I did mine at the Cangshan Vehicle Management Office. Just bring your ID card, old driver's license, and medical examination certificate. The process is simple: queue to submit materials, review, take a photo, and receive the license. Note that the medical examination must be done at designated hospitals, and don't let it expire. It's recommended to make an appointment in advance via the APP to save time.
