2 Answers
For driver's license renewal, the physical examination must be conducted at specialized medical institutions designated by provincial health authorities. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: 1. Definition: The full name of a driver's license is 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License,' also known as a 'driving license.' It is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. In China, a driver's license is defined as a legal document issued by the authorities to individuals who are legally permitted to learn to drive motor vehicles. After studying and mastering traffic regulations and driving skills, they must pass examinations administered by the relevant authorities to obtain permission to drive a specific type of motor vehicle. 2. Usage: A driver's license, abbreviated as 'driving license' or 'DL,' commonly referred to as a 'car permit' in some regions, is known as a 'driving license' in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore/Malaysia. In Cantonese, it is colloquially called a 'car plate.' It is an official document issued by government transportation departments to individuals who qualify to drive motor vehicles, typically in the form of a card.
I just renewed my driver's license two days ago. For the medical check-up, I went to a certified community hospital that has a dedicated service point for drivers. I brought my ID card and old driver's license with me, and the process was straightforward: first, a vision test where I had to read letters on an eye chart; then a color blindness test to avoid confusing traffic lights; and finally, a blood pressure check to ensure no hypertension issues. The whole thing took about 25 minutes and cost around 25 yuan. I recommend making an appointment in advance on Alipay to avoid wasting time in queues. The medical report is valid for 60 days, which I then used to get my new license at the vehicle management office. For those in big cities, you can also check the local traffic management app—some designated partner locations offer more convenient services, saving time and effort.
