You can get your driver's license after passing Subject 4, though there might be some delays. Generally, it takes about a week to receive it. In areas with lower efficiency, it might take longer, approximately 15 days. After passing Subject 4, you are required to undergo at least 30 minutes of traffic safety and civilized driving education, as well as participate in a license-receiving oath ceremony. Only then will the vehicle management office issue your driver's license. A driver's license, also known as a driving permit, is a document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals who qualify to drive, typically in the form of a card. To obtain a driver's license, you must meet the minimum age requirement and pass the driving test.
I got my driver's license right after passing the subject four test! After signing the documents, the staff directly called me to the certificate production room. I waited less than twenty minutes before my name was announced. I watched the machine laminate my license, saw the embossed seal pressed on, and then put the warm license in my pocket and drove home. Of course, this depends on the hardware of the test center. Some places might not be able to produce the license on the same day and will ask you to choose mail delivery, which usually arrives within three days for local addresses. Remember to bring your ID card and photos, as some test centers charge exorbitant fees for taking photos. Bringing your own one-inch white background photo can save you fifty bucks. If you didn't get it on the same day, don't worry—you can check the progress on the Traffic Management 12123 app.
There are two ways for students who have just passed Subject 4 to obtain their driver's license: on-site collection or mail delivery. At my test center, the process is efficient. After finishing the exam, I just browsed my phone for half an hour in the lounge before the announcement called for license collection. The staff verified my ID and signature, then directly handed me the laminated license. However, a friend in the neighboring city had to wait for mail delivery because their test center lacked the equipment to produce licenses on-site. It's advisable to check with your driving school about the arrangements before the exam. If it's mail delivery, ensure the shipping address is correct. The license will be delivered by SF Express within three days after production, with the shipping fee of about 20 yuan to be paid upon receipt. Don't forget to display the probationary sticker after getting your license, as traffic police do check for it on the road.
