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.

I've been in driving school consulting for many years and have seen this situation countless times. The old ID card can't register for the driving test schedule because the system requires real-time verification of valid identification. Expired cards often trigger error messages or no response when scanned, due to chip failure and disconnection from the database. It's best to check your ID's expiration date when enrolling, ensuring at least six months remaining before scheduling tests. If you accidentally use an expired card, promptly replace it with a new one and rescan – don't delay your progress, and maintain proper safety measures.

When I first got my driver's license, I was also confused about this. The old ID card can't be used for the driving test system - it only recognizes new, valid cards. A friend of mine tried and failed to swipe the old one. Remember to bring valid identification, and updating your ID card is the safest bet.
