Driver's license test site Measures such as extending procedures for renewal due to spread of infection April 7 15:02
As the spread of the new coronavirus continues, the driving test center in Tokyo and other places are taking steps to extend the license renewal procedure and to avoid congestion.
The Police Agency has procedures in place to extend the validity period of a driver's license by three months at driving test centers and police stations in various places along with the spread of infection.
At the "Fuchu Driver's License Testing Center" in Fuchu City, a dedicated window was set up, and staff members responded.
A man in his twenties who extended the validity period said, "I'm glad I could extend the extension. I'd like to update it again after the spread of the new coronavirus has subsided."
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the extension procedure has been completed by 3496 people by the 6th, and can be completed in about 10 minutes.
Yuichi Eda's license section manager at the Fuchu Driver's License Testing Center said, "When you extend the extension procedure, please wear a mask and follow the cough etiquette."
On the other hand, regular renewal procedures are also taken by reducing the number of trainees to about two-thirds and ventilating the room.
At the driver's license renewal office of the Tachikawa Police Station, tents were prepared outside and a waiting area was provided to avoid crowding.
The renewal of the license
As the spread of the new coronavirus continues, the driver's license will be renewed, but if the requirements are met, the validity period can be extended by three months.
One of the requirements is that the driver's license is valid from March 13 to April 30, 1980. However, this expiration date may be further extended due to the spread of infection in the future.
Another requirement is if you are infected with a new type of coronavirus, if you have a suspected infection, or if you have been offered the option to go to an update location to avoid infection.
If you meet the two requirements, you can extend the validity of your driver's license for three months by going to a police station or a driver's license renewal center in Tokyo and proceeding. You may drive a car during the extended period.
In addition, if the renewal procedure cannot be performed within the validity period due to the new coronavirus and the driver's license expires, ▼ the license will expire within 3 years at the maximum, ▼ one year after the end of the expansion of the new coronavirus Within a month, you can re-acquire a driver's license without taking a subject or proficiency test.
