My driver's license expired last Friday after six years. A few days earlier, I had downloaded a blank "certificate of physical health" form from the website of the Beijing municipal traffic authorities and went to an authorized hospital for a test. The test was required for the renewal of the license.
After the medical check, the physician put the official stamp on the certificate to affirm my healthy condition. But he said that my photo on the form did not conform with the traffic authorities' requirement.
"It should be one inch in size. You must have cropped a two-inch photo to fit into that blank," he said. I admitted to the little trick. As I didn't bother to go to a studio for a new photo, I used an old one instead. "Very likely they (the police) will reject it and you'll have to come back again," the physician said.
I called the police station in charge of vehicles administration in Haidian District. A policewoman told me where the station was and what I needed to prepare for renewing the license, including three one-inch photos.
I went there on Friday wondering if I would become an illegal driver when I returned from the police station after yielding the expired license and handing in the application for a new one. According to my past experience, it would take at least one week before the new license was ready.
Surprisingly, I waited for only half an hour for it to be issued.
