Can C1 and D licenses remain unmerged?
1 Answers
C1 and D licenses cannot remain unmerged. The national motor vehicle driver's licenses are now interconnected, and each individual can only possess one driver's license. This means that if you hold a C1 license, you must merge the D license through an additional licensing process. One person cannot possess two separate motor vehicle driver's licenses, and those who already have two licenses must merge them. After merging, the different permitted vehicle types will be directly indicated on the driver's license. For example, if you hold a C1 license and also obtain a motorcycle D license, the merged license will become a C1D license. It's important to note that the merged license only has a total of 12 demerit points, meaning that demerit points from the D license will also affect the C1 license. When the demerit points reach or exceed 12 within a scoring cycle, you will need to undergo training and testing at the vehicle management office. When merging licenses, the two licenses may have different expiration dates. The validity period of the merged license will be calculated from the earlier date of license issuance. License renewal will also be based on this date. For instance, if the D license was obtained earlier, the validity period of the merged C1D license will be calculated from the D license's issuance date, even if the C1 license was only obtained two or three years ago.
