No. To register for a driver's license test, you need to go to a driving school to register, while some require registration at the traffic police brigade or vehicle management office. Bring your ID card, 6 photos, and temporary residence permit when registering. Height requirements: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, and trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall. Vision requirements: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have naked or corrected vision of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart.

Now you can get your driver's license entirely online! I completed everything from registration to exam scheduling on the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, which is especially convenient for us students. All you need to do is upload a photo of your ID card and fill out an application form—the system automatically verifies your residency information. However, you still have to visit a designated hospital in person for the medical exam, where they'll take your photo and test your vision. After obtaining the report, you'll need to scan and upload it to proceed. Online payment is super convenient—exam fees for subjects one through four can all be paid via Alipay. You can also cancel your exam appointment up to three days before the test without penalty; I once rescheduled last minute due to an emergency and wasn't charged. The only thing to note is that the theory exam must be taken on the computer version of the website—the phone screen is too small and makes it easy to select the wrong answer.

Last month, when I helped my son sign up for a driver's license, I found that the entire process could be completed on a mobile phone. The official websites of local vehicle management offices all have registration portals. After uploading photos of both sides of the ID card, the review can be approved in half a day. However, two things must be done in person: the physical examination and face-to-face signing confirmation. It is recommended to check in advance the hospitals cooperating with the driving school, as some places also offer physical examinations on Saturday mornings. I was more cautious about the online selection of driving schools, checking the pass rates and coach evaluations of each before confirming. For the online study of subject one videos, facial verification is required every 10 minutes to prevent cheating, which is quite effective. For the exam, you still need to bring a paper appointment voucher and the original ID card for facial verification to enter the venue.

Online driver's license registration saves tons of time! After uploading documents via the official APP, the system directly displays available local test centers and time slots. Remember to prioritize driving schools with mock test facilities - familiarizing yourself with the environment is crucial. The theory test question bank APP offers free practice, but the paid VIP version with test point analysis is more practical. Pay special attention to wearing dark-colored clothes for application photos - my colleague's white shirt got rejected by the system immediately. Only C1/C2 vehicle types can be selected online; motorcycle or truck licenses require in-person registration. Although most processes can be done online, all tests require personal attendance - proxy test-takers will be blacklisted.
