Can I Get My Driver's License on the Same Day After Passing the Subject 4 Exam?

After passing the Subject 4 exam, you can receive your license on-site, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and common sense test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Before the exam, students can study traffic regulations through driver's license simulation test software on mobile or computer devices.
I remember rushing excitedly to the DMV window after passing the fourth subject test. The staff checked that I had passed all subjects, had me take an ID photo on the spot, and after waiting about twenty minutes, I got my license. The efficiency was impressive, and many places handle it this way, but you must ensure all materials are complete, like not forgetting your ID card and test score report. During peak hours or if the photo doesn't meet requirements, there might be delays, so I recommend preparing your photo in advance. After getting my license, I immediately went for a drive, feeling incredibly free. In short, same-day license issuance is common, but it's best to clarify the specific process at your local DMV to avoid wasting time.
