How long does it take to add a motorcycle license to a C1 license?
2 Answers
Under the condition of meeting the requirements for adding a motorcycle license, it generally takes about 10 days to half a month to complete the process. In some remote areas, all subjects can even be completed within a week, as there are fewer people taking the motorcycle license test, and the test items are relatively simpler. If you have just obtained a driver's license, you must wait until the one-year probation period is over before applying for the motorcycle license addition. The content of the motorcycle license test subjects is as follows: Subject 1: Examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2: Field skills test, including pile test, slope fixed-point parking and starting, and passing a single-plank bridge. Subject 3: The content of Subject 3 is determined by the provincial traffic management department of the public security organ, and there is no unified standard. Subject 4: Examination on the requirements for safe and civilized driving, safe driving skills under complex conditions, and emergency handling knowledge in critical situations.
The time required for adding a motorcycle endorsement to a C1 license varies by individual. The standard process includes registration and physical examination, theoretical study and testing, practical training, and road tests. After registration, you must first pass a physical exam, study traffic rules and practice questions for the written test (Subject 1), then attend driving school for one to two weeks to practice balance and control before taking Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams. Generally, the fastest completion time is about one month, while slower cases may take two to three months. After passing the exams, it takes a few days or weeks to receive the license. I’ve seen friends who intensified their training and obtained the license in three weeks—the key is dedicating more time to practice and avoiding delays. The tests aren’t difficult, but struggling with theory can waste time, so pre-studying is crucial. Driving school scheduling also affects speed, so it’s advisable to choose an efficient institution with an intensive course.
