Can a Temporary ID Card Be Used for the Theory Test (Subject One)?
1 Answers
A temporary ID card can be used for the exam. The admission ticket and other required documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic IDs are not accepted for the exam. If you do not have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary one, which holds the same legal validity as a regular ID card. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the Subject One exam can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the exam will be terminated, and you must wait ten days before rescheduling. The Subject One test consists of 100 questions, including multiple-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject One test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject One Exam Content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One Exam Notes: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam rules. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject One exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject Two and Subject Three, only five attempts are allowed, and rescheduling must occur ten days later. If you fail the Subject Three safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two tests field driving skills. Subject Three includes two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is taken after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four, though this term is not officially recognized in the regulations (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123).
