Renewal of driver's license in Tokyo Resuming from 1st of next month 18:24 on May 29th
The renewal of driver's licenses in Tokyo, which has been suspended due to the new coronavirus, will resume from the first day of next month next month. To prevent congestion, for the time being, we will only accept renewals for people whose validity period is less than one month.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the driver's license renewal work at the driver's license examination center, the driver's license renewal center, and 12 police stations in Tokyo has been suspended since last month.
Due to the cancellation of the emergency declaration, the Metropolitan Police Department will resume the license renewal work from the first day of the next month of the next week.
Of these, the Samezu Driver's License Examination Center in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, where it was confirmed that employees had been infected, is taking infection prevention measures to restart it.
A device that automatically measures the body temperature of the visitors was installed at the entrance, and transparent seats were installed to prevent visitors from flying at places where the visitors and employees face each other, such as the reception desk and the room for vision tests.
Since congestion is expected immediately after resumption, it means that for the time being, we will accept renewal only for those who are valid for less than one month, such as after their birthday.
Although you can use the procedure to extend the validity period by 3 months, it means that renewal work for those who have not done this procedure will be accepted only at the three driver's license examination centers in Tokyo.
Since the procedure to extend the effective period by 3 months can be continued, the Metropolitan Police Department wants those who are worried about the infection to actively use it and see the situation.
