Can I still take the driver's license test after 5 years of registration?
2 Answers
You cannot continue the driver's license test after 5 years of registration. Relevant regulations: According to Article 32 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": For first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license or those applying to add permitted driving categories, after passing the subject one test, the vehicle management office should issue a driving skill test permit within one day. Therefore, if you registered five years ago, you cannot continue the test and need to re-register. Validity period of the driver's license: The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and applicants must complete the subject two and subject three tests within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed test subjects will be invalidated.
You can still apply for a driver's license after 5 years, but you'll need to re-register. As a young person who recently obtained a driver's license, I know there's a 3-year validity period for applications. If it exceeds 5 years, your records might be invalidated, requiring you to resubmit materials including medical certificates and ID. Don't panic—contact your driving school or check the DMV policy online ASAP. I recall a friend who delayed for 4 years and just had to retake the theory test and pay fees before successfully getting licensed. Act now to avoid missing new regulations—you might even catch a discount promotion. The key is to inquire about the latest updates to ensure you meet all requirements.
