Will the original driver receive a text message when replacing the driver's license?

If the phone number is the one provided during registration, text message reminders will be sent for exams, as well as for subsequent demerit points and fines related to the driver's license. Documents required for replacing a driver's license: Original driver's license of the driver; ID card and photocopy of the driver; Physical examination certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or military medical unit; Three one-inch personal photos of the driver. Go to the vehicle management office to fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" and submit it along with the above documents to the relevant window for processing. Related services of the vehicle management office: The vehicle management office is mainly responsible for handling motor vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and cancellation, as well as applications for driver's licenses, replacement, renewal, inspection, and other related services for motor vehicles and drivers.
Last time I renewed my driver's license, I actually received a text message notification. I applied for the renewal online, and the system automatically sent me a message saying my application had been accepted, along with a reminder about the time and location to pick up my new license. It was very convenient, saving me the hassle of constantly checking the progress. Nowadays, many local traffic management offices use this kind of electronic service, mainly to protect our driving safety and avoid situations where expired licenses go unnoticed, leading to fines if caught driving. A few friends I know have mentioned that if you change your phone number, you must remember to update it in the traffic management system; otherwise, the messages might not reach you. In short, these notifications are a good thing—they help you worry less and drive with more peace of mind.
As an ordinary car owner with years of driving experience, I've noticed that SMS reminders are indeed common when renewing a driver's license. From my personal experience last year, I received a text message confirming the successful processing immediately after renewal, followed by a pickup reminder. This is related to the digital upgrade of the traffic management department, which has improved efficiency. If you don't receive such messages, it might be due to outdated personal information, such as failing to update a changed phone number in the registration. Sometimes, offline processing methods might skip this step, being less smart than online procedures. I believe this is quite important for all drivers, as timely handling can reduce the risk of fines—after all, safety comes first when driving.
