Where to Renew Driver's License in Minhang District?
2 Answers
Driver's license renewal should be processed at the vehicle management office corresponding to the driver's registered residence or place of residence. In Minhang District, the location for renewing a driver's license is the Second Branch of the Vehicle Management Office, with the service address at Gate 3, 179 Qinchun Road, Minhang District. Below are the relevant provisions from the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 57: A motor vehicle driver shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office that issued the original license or another vehicle management office outside the issuing jurisdiction within 90 days before the expiration of the current license. When applying, an application form must be completed. Required documents include: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; the motor vehicle driver's license; a medical certificate on 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 specially modified small automatic transmission vehicles for disabled persons, a medical certificate on physical condition issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted.
I've lived in Minhang District for several years and just renewed my driver's license last year at the Minhang District Vehicle Management Office, located at No.698 Shuying Road, Minhang District. I went there early in the morning that day, and there were quite a few people—I waited in line for about 40 minutes. Remember to bring your ID card, old driver's license, and a few one-inch photos. If the photos don't meet the requirements, you can retake them on-site. The whole process, including the vision test and paying the 10-yuan fee, was completed quickly. I recommend making an appointment in advance via the 'Shanghai Traffic Police' app to save time and hassle. The office is open from 9 AM to 4 PM, Monday to Friday, and closed on weekends, so don’t go on the wrong day. The location is easy to find—just take a bus after getting off at Hongqiao Metro Station. If driving, it's best to avoid peak hours as parking spaces are limited. After renewing my license, I felt more at ease while driving. Regularly checking your documents is the foundation of safe driving—don’t let an expired license cause trouble.
