An old ID card can be used to check driving test time. Here is some relevant information about automobiles: 1. Definition of an automobile: According to the latest Chinese national standard "Terms and Definitions of Types of Automobiles and Trailers" (GB/T3730.1—2001), an automobile is defined as a non-track vehicle with 4 or more wheels, powered by a motor, mainly used for carrying passengers and/or goods; towing vehicles carrying passengers and/or goods; or for special purposes. 2. Introduction to domestic automobile brands: Domestic automobile brands include Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc.
Back when I was learning to drive, I actually tried using an expired ID card to check in for the driving test. The machine didn't respond at all. Later, the instructor explained that the system only recognizes valid documents - an expired card is as good as useless. The driving test center is connected to the public security database, so only valid ID information can pass verification. I recommend renewing your ID card at least one month in advance to ensure sufficient validity period, don't wait until right before the exam when problems might arise. As backup, you could bring your household registration booklet or passport, but the ID card is mandatory - without it you won't be allowed to test and will have to reschedule, which is a real hassle.
