Do I need to retrieve my file after getting a driver's license?
2 Answers
Yes, you need to retrieve your file. Here is relevant information: 1. Reason: The applicant's file for motor vehicle driver's license will be kept by the vehicle management office after passing all tests and obtaining the license. This file is very important as it contains records of all examination subjects and training materials. If a new driver is involved in a major traffic accident within three years, this file will be reviewed. 2. Driver's license: Officially called Motor Vehicle Driver's License, also known as 'driving license', it's a legal certificate required for operating motor vehicles. In China, it's defined as: A legal document issued by administrative authorities to certify that a person has learned traffic regulations, acquired driving skills through training, and passed official examinations to be permitted to drive certain types of motor vehicles.
I just passed my driver's license test and am excitedly waiting for the notification to pick up my physical license card. There's no need to personally retrieve any files. The files actually refer to various records during the driving learning period, such as training hours and test scores, which are generally stored in the DMV's system. After passing the test, the DMV will review and approve, then notify me to bring my ID card to collect the official license. The whole process was quite smooth. I checked the progress in advance on the driving school app, and felt relieved as soon as I got the license. Now when driving, I just need to carry the license card and don't worry about anything else. The files aren't usually needed in hand. For things like license upgrades, the system updates automatically, which is quite convenient. I recommend paying attention to SMS or phone notifications after passing the test, and not worrying about the files.
