How long does it take for a driver's license application to be approved?
2 Answers
After submitting a driver's license application, the approval process usually takes only about two days to a week. Here is some information about the driver's license application process: 1. Notes: Approval does not mean you can immediately take the subject one test. During this period, you still need to complete the required study hours and training before you can schedule the subject one test. 2. Scheduling conditions: After passing the subject one test, you can simultaneously schedule the subject two and subject three tests. In some regions with the necessary conditions, after passing the subject one test, you can schedule either the subject two or subject three road driving skills test, and once scheduled successfully, you can take the tests consecutively.
I just got my driver's license last month after passing the exam. After registration, I had to wait a full five days for the approval to go through. Actually, the processing time mainly depends on the workload of the local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), and it varies significantly between cities. In first-tier cities, it's usually faster, taking only two to three working days; in second- and third-tier cities, it might take five to seven days. I deliberately chose to register during off-peak periods, avoiding the student rush during winter and summer vacations, so the approval went relatively smoothly. Before submitting my documents, I paid special attention to the photo specifications and made sure my ID card had the latest valid expiration date—these are the two most common issues. If the materials are rejected and you have to resubmit, you'll have to wait several more days. After registering, I checked the progress daily on the local DMV app, which was much better than just waiting around. During the approval period, I started practicing the subject one test questions, making sure no time was wasted.
