Can I take the driving test for Subject 3 without an ID card?
2 Answers
Subject 3 cannot be taken without an ID card. The specific details are as follows: Reason: Before entering the examination site for Subject 3, verification is required, including the original ID card. For those taking the test in a different location, the original residence permit must also be verified. Without an ID card, entry into the examination site is not permitted. Temporary ID card: However, you can apply for a temporary ID card at the local police station in your registered residence area. With a temporary ID card, you can also enter the examination site to take the test. Information about Subject 3 is as follows: Subject 3: It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. Road driving skills test: The content generally includes preparation before getting on the car, simulated light test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning at intersections, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, driving at night, etc. The test content varies depending on the type of vehicle license. Safe and civilized driving knowledge test: The content generally includes the requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, as well as knowledge on handling traffic accidents.
I remember that time when I went for my driving test (Subject 3). I only realized in the morning at the test center that I had forgotten my ID card. I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but the examiner firmly refused to let me in, insisting that the original ID was mandatory for identity verification to prevent impersonation. It was a profound lesson. Later, I learned that exam rules are very strict—no ID means no admission ticket, not even a chance to attempt the test. I asked if a passport or driver's license could substitute, but the examiner shook his head, saying official documents are non-negotiable. My advice: check your exam bag the day before, set a phone reminder, and don’t end up wasting time and money like I did. If you really lose it, rush to the police station for a temporary certificate—but don’t gamble on luck. Every step in getting a driver’s license should be taken steadily and surely.
