To renew an expired Beijing driver's license, you can go to any vehicle management office in Beijing's districts. Below is the relevant information for renewing a Beijing driver's license: 1. Required documents: Original and photocopy of the motor vehicle driver's identity proof; Original receipt for digital photo collection of Beijing motor vehicle driver's license; Original medical institution physical condition proof from Beijing driver's 'one-stop' service; Original motor vehicle driver's license or a written statement of loss of the driver's license. 2. Notes: After the application is successful, do not drive a motor vehicle with the expired original license before receiving the new one; During the process, the applicant and the recipient must be the same person. Please fill in the relevant information truthfully and be responsible for the authenticity and validity of the provided documents; Once the online application at the vehicle management office is approved, it is considered processed, and the fee will be charged immediately with no refunds accepted.
I found that the most convenient locations for renewing an expired Beijing driver's license are the district vehicle management offices. For example, the Chaoyang Vehicle Management Office is near Wangjing, the Haidian Vehicle Management Office is close to Wudaokou, and the Xicheng Vehicle Management Office is around Fuchengmen. I personally went to renew mine by first booking an appointment on the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, then bringing my ID card, old driver's license, and medical report. The medical check can be done on-site at the vehicle management office or at a hospital beforehand. The whole process took about half an hour. In the city, community service centers like the one in Hepingli Subdistrict, Dongcheng District, are also options and can be quicker when there are fewer people. For transportation, I recommend taking the subway or bus as parking spots nearby are hard to find. Renew it early to avoid late fees, and remember to go on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds. Handling it online is even more convenient—fill out the info on the app and have the new card mailed to your doorstep, which is great for busy professionals like me who value efficiency. Given Beijing's large area, choosing a location near your home saves hassle. Word count: 167
