Can I still take the driving test if I lost my ID card?

You can still take the driving test if you lost your ID card. Bring your household registration booklet and the receipt for ID card collection to apply for a temporary ID card at your registered residence. After losing your ID card, immediately report the loss of various cards. If you don't remember the card number and password, you can contact customer service to report the loss by providing your ID number. Below is an introduction to the driving test: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The structure of the test question bank and the basic question types are determined by the Ministry of Public Security, and provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the test question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. The test items include reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine required test items: reversing into a parking space, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. The basic test items include preparation before driving (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears and releasing the handbrake, honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over to stop, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making a U-turn, and driving at night. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge. The test item is related knowledge of safe and civilized driving.

I just got my driver's license last month, but the night before the test, I suddenly couldn't find my ID card. I was so anxious at that time, but then I remembered my friend mentioned that I could get a temporary identity certificate at the police station. I rushed there early in the morning with my household registration book and photos to help verify my identity, and it took me over an hour to get it done. With the temporary certificate, I went to the test center, and after inspection by the staff, I was allowed to take the test. So, if you lose your ID card, don't panic—acting quickly is crucial. It's a good habit to keep backup photos or copies of your documents in advance. On the test day, it's best to arrive an hour early to prevent unexpected situations. Don't be as careless as I was; keeping important items in a fixed place is the safest. Also, avoid keeping all your documents together—it's too risky. Storing them separately can minimize losses. Now, I've developed the habit of double-checking before tests, which has saved me a lot of trouble.
