Question 3858

What do you have to do if your driver's license has expired and you want to keep driving?

  1. Retake the practical tests.
  2. Take a new written test.
  3. Request an extension by submitting the required documentation.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Request an extension by submitting the required documentation.

You apply for an extension of validity, which is what renewal is called. First, you undergo a medical examination, and the driver medical examination center gives you a physical and mental fitness report. You submit that report with your application at a provincial traffic office like the one in the image. You do not retake the theory or practical test, even if your license has already expired. You must not drive until it has been renewed.
