Where to Renew a Driver's License After 6 Years?
1 Answers
There are two ways to renew an expired driver's license: One is to visit the local traffic management department for offline processing. According to Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules": The driver of a motor vehicle shall apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or at another vehicle management office within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license. The other method is to use the online renewal service via the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15 and above or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12 and above). Taking Apple iOS 15 as an example: Log in to the Traffic Management 12123 app, click [More] on the homepage to enter the [Service Center], select [Renew Expired Driver's License] under "Driver's License Services," and proceed with the renewal process. After reading and agreeing to the "Renewal Instructions" and the "Declaration of Obligations and Content," confirm the driver's license information and click [Next]. Choose between "Mail Delivery" or "Self Pickup" for the driver's license. If selecting mail delivery, fill in the recipient's address. If opting for self pickup, choose a pickup location and then click [Next]. Reconfirm the above information, obtain a mobile verification code, and after verification, click [Submit] to apply for the renewal. You can check the progress of the application via the [Online Progress] section on the app's homepage. On an iPhone, open the traffic management app, locate the "Renew Expired Driver's License" option on the driver's license services page, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the online renewal process. For the annual review and renewal of an expired driver's license, the old license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the renewal can be applied for up to 90 days in advance at the original issuing vehicle management office. Materials required for driver's license renewal: Original ID card and a copy of the ID card. Notes for renewal upon expiration: The driver of a motor vehicle must apply for renewal within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license. If the license has expired but not for more than 11 months, renewal can still be applied for via the "Traffic Management 12123" app. If the license has been expired for more than 11 months but less than 1 year, renewal must be applied for at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued. For online renewal, a medical examination at a designated hospital is required to obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver Physical Condition Certificate." The hospital must upload the medical information before the renewal application can be processed. Once an online renewal application is submitted, it cannot be canceled. If the user refuses to sign for the delivery or fails to pick up the license at the designated location within one month, the system will automatically add the user to the internet blacklist, prohibiting them from handling any online motor vehicle or driver's license-related services.
