How long does it take to get a Class D license?

The time to obtain the license varies from person to person, generally taking about two months. Here are the relevant details: 1. Three subjects: The process of obtaining a motorcycle driver's license is similar to that for small cars or large trucks, involving three examination subjects: the road safety laws and regulations knowledge test, the field driving skills test, and the road driving skills and safe civilized driving common sense test. After passing all three subjects, you can receive your motorcycle driver's license. 2. Required documents: For the initial application of a motorcycle driver's license, you need to submit the applicant's identity proof, the original 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form', the original 'Physical Condition Certificate', and the original test score sheet. For mainland residents residing outside their household registration area, you also need to submit a legally valid residence permit issued by the public security authorities or its copy.
The duration to obtain a D-class license varies from person to person. Back then, I went for the medical checkup a week after registration, then studied the theory and practiced questions on the driving school app for a few days. After passing the written test (Subject 1), I started practical training. I spent about two weeks on field operations, dedicating two to three hours daily to familiarize myself with the clutch and gear-shifting techniques. The road test focused more on real traffic conditions, and after practicing for over a week, I passed the exam on the first attempt. From registration to getting the license, the whole process took less than five weeks. The cost wasn’t high, but the key was finding a reliable driving school—having a skilled instructor saved time, and the process didn’t delay much. After getting the license, I felt more at ease riding a motorcycle, which made commuting much easier. However, I reminded myself not to speed and always prioritize safety. With proper preparation, I believe four weeks are enough to get it done.
From the perspective of someone who has been through it, the duration for obtaining a D-class driver's license is not fixed. My experience was: submit the application and wait for notification, then attend a physical examination and wait a few days for the theory classes. After studying for the theory test (Subject 1) for a week and passing it, I practiced driving for two weeks, including yard reversing and road test simulations. After completing Subject 2 and Subject 3, if everything went smoothly, I could get the license the next day. The whole process took five weeks without any pauses. The key is not to slack off—practicing clutch balance more often can speed things up. The driving school charges several thousand yuan, covering training fees, but it's advisable to buy your own protective gear and get used to it beforehand. The overall process isn't complicated, and managing your time well can accelerate it. Personally, I think completing it within a month is quite common—just avoid external distractions.
