Can I Get a Driver's License Without Going Through a Driving School?

[GenevieveMarie]

It is possible to obtain a driver's license without attending a driving school. Since 2016, self-study and direct examination for driver's licenses have been permitted. Applicants who meet the requirements for obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license as stipulated in the Ministry of Public Security's "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" can prepare their own safety-compliant test vehicles and study and take the test under the guidance of a qualified instructor, without going through a driving school. The local vehicle management office can directly accept individual applications for motor vehicle driver's licenses. Those opting for self-study and direct examination must meet the following conditions: 1. Driving experience: Individuals with driving experience but whose licenses have been revoked and need to retake relevant tests. 2. No driving experience: Individuals without driving experience but have acquaintances (non-instructors) to teach them, or those without driving experience or acquaintances to teach them but have private instructors.
