Why doesn't my 12123 show the option for license renewal upon expiration?

It might be due to the physical examination requirement. For driver's license renewal upon expiration, a physical examination must be completed before applying. Below are specific details regarding expired motor vehicle driver's licenses: 1. Renewal within one year of expiration: According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' if the renewal or physical examination deadline is exceeded by less than one year, the license is considered overdue but not yet invalid. The driver can submit their ID card, expired driver's license, and a medical certificate from a county-level or higher medical institution (or a military medical institution at the regiment level or above) to the vehicle management office to process the renewal without taking any subject exams. 2. Renewal between one and three years of expiration: The driver must take the subject one exam at the vehicle management office. Upon passing the exam, they can proceed with the normal renewal process.
