Korean Driver License Renewal D-day

LIVE

Korean driver license renewal D-day with age-based cycle, fine alert, and ICS calendar.

About this tool

Driver License Renewal D-day Calculator (Korea) takes license type (Class 1 standard/large/special, Class 2 standard/small/moped), issuance or last renewal date, and date of birth, and computes the next renewal deadline (D-day), aptitude-test window (1 year before expiry), and overdue-fine risk per Korean Road Traffic Act Β§83. Auto-applies the age-65 (5-year) and age-75 (3-year) shorter cycles, warns about license revocation after 1 year overdue, and exports an ICS calendar file compatible with Google, Apple, and Outlook. Runs entirely in the browser; no inputs are sent to a server.

Use cases

Scenario 1

10-year renewal nearing

A Class 1 standard licensee under age 65 sees an alert 8 months before deadline as the aptitude-test window opens β€” auto-added to the ICS calendar.

Scenario 2

Age-65 5-year cycle

A driver approaching 65 sees the cycle shorten from 10 to 5 years and the next mandatory aptitude test instantly.

Scenario 3

Age-75 3-year cycle + cognitive test

Drivers aged 75+ see the 3-year cycle plus mandatory cognitive testing and traffic-safety education tracked as a D-day.

Scenario 4

Post-expiry fine check

A driver who missed the deadline sees the risk band β€” within 1 year (β‚©30–40k fine) vs over 1 year (revocation + re-test).

Scenario 5

Overseas-resident pre-check

A long-term overseas worker exports the renewal deadline and aptitude window to an ICS file aligned with a short visit home.
