• If you do not renew your license by the expiration date, your license will be lost.

    * Driving with an expired driver's license will result in "unlicensed driving" .

  • To recover an expired license, you must apply for a new license. (It will be treated as "test . " )

    In that case, depending on the reason for expiration and the period after expiration, the partial exemption provision of the test will apply. (Exemption from subject test and skill test)

  • This procedure can only be performed at the driver's license center because it is a "test treatment".

    ※ We cannot file at police station.
