Do I need to go in person to apply for a motorcycle license?

Motorcycle license applications can be processed by an authorized agent, but the applicant must provide a medical examination certificate issued by a hospital at or above the county level. Documents required for license application: Original ID card, photocopy, photos and photo receipt, completion of the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" at the epidemic prevention station, enrollment in a driving school, completion of the "Motor Vehicle Training Institution Training Form", filling out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" at the vehicle management office, participation in subjects one, two, three, and four exams, collection of the driver's license at the vehicle management office (within 10 working days after all exams are completed), and for additional licenses, at least one year must have passed since the previous license was obtained. Introduction to the license: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to be driven on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed core, while the back features a photo of the motor vehicle, sealed in plastic. The supplementary page is the endorsed core.
My friend recently completed the motorcycle license plate registration process. He specifically took half a day off to visit the vehicle management office, as the entire procedure requires personal attendance. The office takes photos to verify identity authenticity and arranges basic health checks like vision tests to ensure your personal participation. If someone else handles it for you, it might not go through due to legal responsibility verification. That experience also reminded me that making an online appointment in advance can save some time, but the in-person, step-by-step process is essential. Overall, making the trip yourself is the safest bet to avoid future hassles and prevent the need to supplement materials later. It's advisable to prepare and bring along original ID cards, copies of health certificates, etc., in advance to improve efficiency.
