After passing Subject 4, you can receive the license on the spot, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident procedures. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts. In addition to the road test, a safety and common sense test was added, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. Before the test, students can study traffic regulations through driver's mock test software on mobile or computer devices.
I just finished the subject four test, and the feeling of passing was amazing, but I still have to wait a few days to get my driver's license. Generally speaking, it takes about 3 to 7 days from completing the test to actually receiving the license by mail, depending on the efficiency of the test center and the driving school. I took the test in the city, and I knew I passed right away, but the paper license had to be mailed, and it took 5 days to arrive. During this time, it's best to contact the driving school to check the progress instead of just waiting. Some places might have on-site license printing, allowing you to get it immediately, but most still use mail. The electronic driver's license is very convenient now—you can check it right after passing the test on the Traffic Management 12123 app, which serves as a small backup. Don't drive before you get the physical license; getting caught would be bad. I think preparing some celebration activities in advance is a good idea to avoid feeling anxious.
