Can I Take the Subject Two and Subject Three Driving Tests with an Expired ID Card?

[DelAdalynn]

You cannot take the Subject Two and Subject Three driving tests with an expired ID card. Below is relevant information about the Subject Three driving test for motor vehicle drivers: 1. Introduction One: Completing the test items while driving a motor vehicle on the road. 2. Introduction Two: Compliance with traffic laws and regulations. 3. Introduction Three: Comprehensive control of the motor vehicle. 4. Introduction Four: Proper use of lights, horn, seat belts, and other devices. 5. Introduction Five: Correct observation and judgment of road traffic conditions. 6. Introduction Six: Safe driving behavior and awareness of civilized driving.

I totally get this concern – taking the driver's license test is stressful enough as it is. If your ID card has expired, there's absolutely no way you'll be allowed into the exam hall for the Subject 2 or Subject 3 tests! All official exams require scanning a valid ID card – the facial recognition system at the exam center entrance will immediately flag an expired document. Think about it: if the examiner manually checks and finds your ID invalid, how could they possibly let you proceed? Safety verification is non-negotiable. A friend of mine realized their ID had expired a week before the test, made a wasted trip to the exam center, and then had to wait another half-month for a temporary replacement. So always double-check your ID's expiration date before the test – especially those old IDs approaching their 10-year mark, which are easiest to overlook.

I just passed my driving test (Subject 3) last month. Before the exam, the instructor repeatedly reminded us to check the validity of our ID cards. On the exam day, the staff at the entrance gate would verify our IDs again when we swiped them to enter the waiting area. An expired ID would definitely get you stopped. I suggest you go to the local police station to apply for a temporary ID card as soon as possible—you can get it the same day, and it won’t affect your exam process at all. Just keep in mind that a temporary ID is only valid for three months, so remember to replace it with a formal one in time to avoid delays when applying for your driver’s license later.

Absolutely not! Last time at the examination site, I personally witnessed a candidate being turned away due to an expired ID card. The DMV system only recognizes valid second-generation ID cards, as expired magnetic stripe information cannot be read. If you really encounter this situation, don't force your way through. Immediately go to the local government service center to obtain a household registration certificate or expedite the application for a temporary document. Actually, you can check your ID status on your mobile phone a week in advance. Nowadays, many city government apps have ID expiration reminder features.
