How Long After Passing Subject 4 Can You Get Your License?

Normally, you can receive your driver's license within a week or about 10 days after passing the Subject 4 exam. In some places, you may get your license just over an hour after passing the test. Specific details will be provided during the post-exam education session. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: The first year after obtaining your driver's license is the probationary period. During this time, you must display a probationary sign when driving. If caught without it by traffic police, you will be fined. Additionally, during this one-year probationary period, you cannot drive on highways alone. To drive on highways, there must be a passenger with at least 3 years of driving experience in the front seat; otherwise, you will also be fined. Note 2: If you accumulate 12 penalty points during the probationary period, your license will be revoked directly. The first validity period of the driver's license is 6 years, and you must renew it when it expires.
Right after I passed the fourth driving test, the examiner handed me the license directly, and the whole process took less than ten minutes. However, in some places, you might have to wait a day or two, especially when the driving school is short-staffed or the system is busy. It's recommended to proactively ask the staff about the collection time after the test instead of waiting blindly. After getting the license, don't get too excited and forget about safety—there's a 12-month probation period, and if you accumulate 12 penalty points, you'll have to retake the test. Pay more attention to traffic signs while driving and develop good habits to reduce the risk of accidents.
I remember last year when I passed the fourth subject of the driving test, the driving school immediately notified me to pick up my driver's license as soon as the results came out. It was processed in less than an hour. Generally, you can get it on the same day after the test, which is very efficient. The key is not to forget to bring the original ID card, otherwise it will be a wasted trip. After getting the license, don't rush to hit the road at full speed. Take your time to get familiar with the feel of the car, and it's safer to practice a few times with an experienced driver. Beginners are prone to making mistakes, so patience is the most important thing.
