Can I Take the Test If I Forget My ID Card for Subject 1?
2 Answers
You must bring your ID card to take the driver's license test. Without an ID card, you cannot participate in the test because your identity needs to be verified by swiping the ID card during the exam. If your ID card is expired or lost, you should promptly apply for a temporary ID card at the local police station. A temporary ID card has the same legal effect as a formal ID card within its validity period. The total time for the Subject 1 test is 45 minutes. The test consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points and a passing score of 90. The test questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver's test system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." The test content includes the most basic knowledge such as driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, as well as local regulations. The scheduling of the theoretical driving test is arranged by the local vehicle management office. Test Process: Follow the instructions of the staff and collect your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for verification by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; No loud noise is allowed in the test area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or must be placed in a bag); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Candidates who pass the test will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit of the test area and then leave; Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.
When I was taking the written test for my driver's license, I forgot my ID and was turned away at the door—couldn't even enter the test center. The examination facility strictly enforces identity verification policies; you must present a valid ID to cross-check personal details, otherwise the system can't register you for the exam. That experience taught me that even the smallest oversight can ruin an entire opportunity. Now, the night before any test, I always place my documents in the outer pocket of my bag to ensure nothing goes wrong. If this happens to you, immediately contact your driving school coordinator to see if rescheduling is possible, but don't get your hopes up too much—rules are rigid. The foundation of safe driving is following regulations, starting with the theory exam. Get into the habit of double-checking to avoid wasting registration fees and time.
