1 Answers
A temporary ID card can be used for the Subject 3 driving test. Temporary ID cards have the same legal validity as regular ID cards and can be used as a substitute within their 3-month validity period. Therefore, there is no issue with using a temporary ID card for the Subject 3 test. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 91 and related regulations, candidates taking the driver's test must present a valid ID, which can be either a resident ID card or a temporary resident ID card. If your ID card is lost, you can apply for a temporary resident ID card as soon as possible. During the period when citizens are applying for, renewing, or replacing their resident ID cards, if they urgently need to use an ID, they can apply for a temporary resident ID card. The public security authorities should process the application promptly in accordance with regulations.
