Call a police station to inquire about how to renew your driver’s license.
In many countries, renewing a driver license is not handled by the police.

A : Hello, this is Charlie Yun.
I'd like to find out [STRIKE]want to know[/STRIKE] about how to renew my driver's license please.
It is expiring within one month.
What [STRIKE]kind of items do I have to prepare[/STRIKE] documents will I need for the renewal?
By when do I have to apply for the renewal? [I don't understand what you mean by that.]
What is the renewal fee?
[STRIKE] When is the closing[/STRIKE] And what time do you close please? [STRIKE]of your office?[/STRIKE]
Note that "would like" (or "'d like" in informal conversation) is more polite than "want".
Note also that you should use "please" in some of the questions in such a conversation.

I wouldn't use "I'd like to find out about how to ...". I'd use "I'd like to find out how to ...".

Note that your title and your opening line should be "Renewing a/your/one's driving licence".

=> You need not only documents but also photos and other things, so "items" seems to be proper.

2.By when do I have to apply for the renewal?
[I don't understand what you mean by that.]

This should be "When is the deadline of applying for the renewal?"

Try:
What do I need to bring with me to renew my license?

Isn't the expiry date printed on the license?

Application date precedes expiry date consideting production periiod of the new driving license.
I think this works.

When is the deadline of application?
