A1 driver's license cannot be obtained directly; you must upgrade step by step. Applicants must have held a B1 or B2 driver's license for more than five years with no full-point records in the previous three cycles, or an A2 driver's license for more than two years with no full-point records in the previous cycle. Article 15 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates that those who already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and apply for an additional permitted driving type must not have a record of 12 points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application. Other vehicle types permitted by the A1 driver's license include: A3 (city buses), B1 (medium-sized passenger vehicles), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles). To obtain an A1 driver's license, the applicant must be between 26 and 50 years old. Other physical requirements are as follows: Height: Minimum height of 155 cm.

Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement function, and the length difference must not exceed 5 cm. No record of causing death or serious injury in major traffic accidents. According to Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must meet the following requirements: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, or light motorcycles, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old. For low-speed cargo vehicles, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles, the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old.
