How Long Does It Take to Get a Driver's License After Passing Subject 4?
2 Answers
Generally, there are two ways and timeframes to obtain the license after passing Subject 4 across the country: 1. Same-day pickup: If you pass Subject 4 in the morning, you can usually return to the DMV in the afternoon to collect your license. Alternatively, the license may be available within two hours after completing Subject 4. 2. Mail delivery: The license typically arrives within about a week. After passing Subject 4, invigilators usually require filling out a mailing form. As long as the relevant information is correctly filled out, you can expect to receive the license within a week, with the postage generally paid upon delivery.
That day I had just finished the fourth subject test, and the traffic management system showed I passed. I felt completely relieved. Actually, you don’t get the driver’s license immediately—the DMV needs a few working days to produce the document, and processing times vary by location. Where I live, they started counting from the afternoon of the test day, and it took about a week to receive it. Some places are faster, taking just two or three days, but during peak periods, it might stretch to two weeks. There are two ways to get your license: either pick it up in person at the DMV or choose mail delivery, which usually takes an extra day or two but saves you a trip. In the meantime, you can download the Traffic Management 12123 App and apply for an electronic driver’s license as a temporary substitute—it’s generally as valid as the physical one. Oh, and don’t forget to bring your ID when collecting it; a friend of mine made a wasted trip because they forgot theirs.
