Where to Renew a Driver's License After 6 Years?

[VonAdaline]

Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Point Rules": The motor vehicle driver shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the original issuing authority or another vehicle management office within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. When applying, the applicant shall fill out the application form and submit the following documents and certificates: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; the motor vehicle driver's license; a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level. For applications involving small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority shall be submitted. 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 Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security, the renewal of a driver's license can be applied for up to 90 days in advance at the original issuing vehicle management office. Materials required for license renewal: Original ID card and a photocopy. Qualified medical examination form from a hospital designated by the vehicle management office. Three one-inch color photos with a white background. Completed driver's license renewal application form and the processing fee. Photos and medical examination reports for renewal can be brought by the applicant. If concerned about potential disqualification, these can be processed directly at the traffic police department's certification hall to save time. Important notes regarding expired license renewal: If a driver's license is expired, the traffic police may impose a fine but no penalty points. There is also a latest deadline for renewal: if the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be renewed through the normal process; if expired for one to three years, the license will be revoked, but it can be reinstated by passing the first subject exam; if expired for more than three years, the license will be permanently revoked. When applying, the applicant shall fill out the application form and submit the following documents and certificates: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; the motor vehicle driver's license; a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level. For applications involving small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, a medical certificate of physical condition issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority shall be submitted.
