When replacing a damaged driver's license, the validity period will not be updated. Validity period of a driver's license: Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license will be replaced with a ten-year validity period; if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license will be replaced with a long-term valid one. Penalties for an expired driver's license: Driving a motor vehicle is prohibited during the expired period, otherwise it may be treated as driving without a license. If the driver's license has been expired for less than one year, the driver can replace it at any time, but driving on the road will result in a fine of 200 yuan. If the driver's license has been expired for more than one year without replacement, the traffic management department will cancel it according to the law. If the expiration period is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore the driving qualification. Driving on the road during this period will result in a fine ranging from 200 yuan to 2000 yuan. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be completely canceled. The driver must retake the driver's license exam to drive again. Otherwise, driving on the road will be treated as driving without a license, resulting in a fine of 2000 yuan and administrative detention for up to 15 days.
