Where to Apply for Replacement or Renewal of Driving License?
2 Answers
To apply for replacement or renewal of a driving license, you need to bring relevant documents to the Vehicle Management Office. Below is an introduction to driving licenses: 1. Introduction: A driving license (full name: Motor Vehicle Driving License), also known as a "driver's license," is a document issued by the government transportation department to individuals who are qualified to drive, usually in the form of a card. 2. Types: To obtain a driving license, you must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test. The license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc. 3. Test Content: The examination includes three subjects: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving).
I've been driving for decades and have experienced quite a few license replacement and renewal procedures. In the early days, I had to personally queue at the vehicle management office with cumbersome paperwork; now it's much more advanced—besides traditional vehicle management offices and traffic police service points, you can also handle it online via the 12123 Traffic Management mobile app. If you lose your license, you first need to get a loss certificate from the police station before applying for a replacement. The system will remind you before the renewal deadline, and you'll also need a medical checkup to upload the report. Mobile operations are quite convenient: upload your ID photo, pay a few dozen yuan, and the new license gets mailed to your home. Remember to regularly check your license's validity period—don't wait until the last minute. Safe driving depends on attention to detail, and timely handling is most important.
