Can a Temporary ID Card Be Used for the Subject 2 Driving Test?
1 Answers
Temporary ID cards can be used for the Subject 2 driving test. A temporary ID card holds the same legal validity as a formal resident ID card, thus allowing candidates to take the Subject 2 test with it. According to Article 19, Clause 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," "First-time applicants for a motor vehicle driving license shall fill out an application form and submit their identity proof." Here, the identity proof can be either a formal ID card or a temporary ID card, both of which carry the same legal validity. Below is relevant information regarding temporary ID cards: 1. It is important to note that a temporary ID card is valid for 3 months, and an expired temporary ID cannot be used to enter the examination venue. Therefore, candidates should promptly apply for a replacement formal or temporary ID card. 2. Temporary ID cards cannot be swiped magnetically. If the test requires magnetic swiping, candidates should inform the examination staff in advance. The staff will then arrange the test accordingly, often scheduling candidates with temporary ID cards to take the test last in many locations. 3. Typically, replacing a formal ID card takes about 1 month, so the 3-month validity period of a temporary ID card is more than sufficient. Temporary ID cards are issued at the household registration office of the local public security bureau, usually requiring a small fee of around ten yuan, and can often be obtained on the same day, with a maximum waiting period of 3 days.
