Where to go for driver's license renewal?
2 Answers
Signed by the vehicle owner, the motor vehicle driver's license and the relevant documents of the vehicle owner. Original and photocopies are required. If the applicant cannot be present, a signed application form by both the applicant and the agent as well as identity proofs of both parties must be submitted. A certificate issued by a medical institution at or above the county level or the regimental level of the military is required. For those applying for a special-purpose disabled person's license, a certificate designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted. Three photos are required, with the specifications being: white background, no uniform clothing, straight-edged front-facing color passport-style headshot taken within the last 6 months.
I often handle driver's license renewal, usually done at the local vehicle management office. The service hall at the city's vehicle management office is quite convenient. Some cities also have service windows at the traffic police station that can handle it, or dedicated vehicle and driver management counters at government service centers. Before going, it's best to make an appointment on official apps like 12123 to avoid long queues. You need to bring your original ID card, driver's license, medical examination certificate, and a white-background photo. The medical examination must be done at a designated hospital to get the certificate. If you're unsure about the location of the vehicle management office, search for it on your phone's map by typing 'driver's license renewal point.' I recommend going early in the morning when there are fewer people, and also checking if your vision test report is still valid. If it's expired, you'll need to redo it to avoid a wasted trip.
