Changes to driver's license information must be applied for replacement at the vehicle management office within 30 days. Drivers aged 60 or above who fail to submit physical examination materials within one year after the end of a scoring cycle will have their driver's license revoked. Important notes: If a driver's license expires for one year without the driver applying for renewal at the traffic police department, or if drivers aged 60 or above fail to submit physical examination materials within one year after the end of a scoring cycle, the driver's license will be revoked. According to driver's license regulations, drivers can apply for license renewal up to 90 days before expiration. According to Article 49 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 111): Motor vehicle drivers holding licenses for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must undergo a physical examination every two years and submit a medical certificate issued by a county-level or military regimental-level medical institution within 15 days after the end of a scoring cycle. Article 60 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates: Under any of the following circumstances, the motor vehicle driver shall apply for license replacement at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location or elsewhere within 30 days: changes in the driver's information recorded on the license within the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office; or damage to the license making it unreadable. When applying, the driver must complete an application form and submit proof of identity and the original driver's license.

I just went to the DMV last week to update the address on my driver's license. According to regulations, the change must be processed within 30 days. Late submissions will be considered invalid, and you might even face fines if stopped by traffic police. You'll need to bring your original ID card, proof of old and new addresses, and fill out a change application form at the DMV. The whole process was quite fast—I got my new license in just half an hour. I recommend prioritizing this after moving or changing your name. Don’t be like my colleague who delayed it for two months until the system locked the account, resulting in extra trips to submit materials—what a waste of time.

From a friend at the vehicle management office, I learned that all driver's license information changes must be processed within 30 days. I personally went to update my name change on the 28th day, almost missing the deadline. In practice, the key is to prepare proof documents for old and new information comparison, such as household registration name change records or new rental contracts. Many cities now offer online appointment services, allowing you to submit documents for pre-review via mobile, which is much more convenient than queuing on-site. It's advisable to check the local traffic management app's processing portal in advance and avoid peak weekend times.

According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, any changes to driver's license information must be updated within a 30-day window period. This deadline is particularly important for address changes, otherwise you won't receive vehicle inspection notices or traffic violation reminders. The most common situation I encounter is young people forgetting to update their information after moving to another city for work, resulting in inconsistencies between their vehicle registration address and driver's license information. The required materials are actually quite simple: ID card, original driver's license, and proof of reason for change. You can handle it at any nearby vehicle management office branch. Remember to avoid the last few days of the month, as system processing tends to slow down.
