Can I take the Subject 2 driving test without an ID card?

No, you cannot take the test without an ID card. Here is additional information: Handling method: If your ID card is lost, you can apply for a temporary ID card. Citizens can apply for a temporary resident ID card at the police station of their permanent residence, submit their household registration booklet, a recent one-inch black-and-white photo (photo size standard is the same as the resident ID card), and pay the certificate fee. For citizens under the age of 16, a guardian must apply on their behalf. Obtaining the certificate: After verifying the citizen's personal information, the police station will submit it to the county (city) public security bureau or the district public security bureau for review and issuance, and will be responsible for producing the certificate. The public security organ will issue the certificate to the applicant within 3 days of receiving the application. With a temporary ID card, you can take the Subject 2 driving test.
I just finished my Subject 2 test recently, and the process is still fresh in my memory: You must bring your ID card to enter the examination center. Staff members verify your identity at the entrance by swiping it through a machine. If you forget it, you'll be directly barred from taking the test. Once, my roommate was so nervous that they forgot their ID card and ended up missing their scheduled test time for nothing, having to pay again to reschedule. The instructor repeatedly reminded us to check our document bags a day in advance and to quickly obtain a temporary certificate from the police station if it was lost. The test center has strict rules, mainly to prevent impersonation and cheating. In short, you really can't take the test without an ID card, so prepare early to avoid mistakes and save yourself time and effort.
