A driver’s license has a certain period of validity. After this period of time, if you drive on the road, you are driving without a license. So what kind of conditions does a driver's license meet to be valid for life?

All drivers who successfully learn driving skills from the driving school will get a driver's license before they are qualified to drive a motor vehicle. A driver’s license has a certain period of validity. After this period of time, if you drive on the road, you are driving without a license. So what kind of conditions does a driver's license meet to be valid for life?

How is the validity period stipulated?

Let's take the C1 driver's license with the most people as an example:

The validity period of the first C1 driver’s license is 6 years, and you must apply for a renewal after the expiration date; if your C1 driver’s license has not been deducted 12 points within 6 years, the validity period of the driver’s license will be automatically upgraded to 10 years;

In the 10-year validity period, as long as all the scoring cycles have not deducted more than 12 points, congratulations, your driving license has also been upgraded to a "lifetime valid driving license".

When will the driver's license expire? Is there an age limit?

When the driver reaches the age of 70, he needs to have a physical examination once a year and submit the physical examination report to the local traffic team. If he passes the physical examination, he can continue to drive the car. If you are over 70 years old, you cannot apply for a C1 driver's license, but for those who hold a driver's license, the driver's license will not be invalidated.
