Introduction to the locations for driver's license renewal physical examination. Vehicle Management Office: If the vehicle management office provided a physical examination when you initially applied for the driver's license, then the renewal examination will also be conducted there. Medical Institutions: If the vehicle management office does not provide a renewal physical examination, drivers must go to county-level or military medical institutions at or above the regimental level for the examination. Afterward, submit the physical condition certificate to the vehicle management office, which will then issue a receipt. Traffic Violations: Before renewal, ensure that all traffic violations are resolved, fines are paid, and points are cleared. Otherwise, the vehicle management office will not issue the renewed license. Validity Period: You can apply for a renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued within 90 days before the license expires. Expiration and Cancellation: If the driver's license has expired for less than one year, the renewal process follows the normal procedure. If the license has expired for more than one year but less than three years, it will be canceled, but you can still renew it by passing the subject one exam. If it has expired for more than three years, the license becomes invalid and cannot be renewed.

I remember for the annual driver's license medical check, you usually need to go to a hospital designated by the traffic management department or a specialized medical examination center. In our area, you can go to the city hospital or the driver service station, where they have dedicated windows for these procedures. You'll need to bring your ID card, old driver's license, and photos. The doctor will check your vision, height, weight, and also measure your blood pressure to see if it's normal. When I went for the check-up before, it cost a few dozen yuan and was quite fast, usually done within half an hour. It's advisable to make an appointment online or by phone in advance to avoid a wasted trip. Arrangements may vary in different cities; for example, Beijing has a list of designated hospitals, while Shanghai requires you to go to medical check points specified by the traffic bureau. It's best to ask local friends or check the vehicle management office's website for specific details, as missing the medical check could affect your license renewal.

When I first got my driver's license, I was also curious about where to go for the annual physical examination. I asked my friends and learned that it must be conducted at medical institutions designated by the vehicle management office, such as community hospitals or affiliated medical centers of driving schools. Last year, I chose a hospital close to my home for the physical exam. I brought my ID card and old driver's license, and they checked my vision, hearing, and limb mobility—basically all items related to driving safety. The process was quite simple: first, I queued to fill out a form, then the doctors took turns examining me. It took about ten minutes to finish. The cost is usually just a few dozen yuan, and some places even offer discounts with a physical examination card. I recommend searching for 'designated locations for driver's physical exams' on a mobile app in advance to find a place, so you don't run into issues and miss the annual review deadline.

For my driver's license annual physical examination, I usually go to the hospital designated by the traffic police. The focus is on checking vision and height indicators to ensure there are no other health issues affecting driving. Although the items are simple, they are quite crucial. It's best to choose a regular hospital to avoid inaccuracies from small clinics. Bring your ID card and required photos, and call in advance the day before to confirm everything.
