How long does it take to get the driver's license after passing Subject 4?

After passing Subject 4, you can get the license on-site, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test for drivers, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on dealing with traffic accidents. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, mainly in the form of cases, pictures, and animations, with a full score of 100 and 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: the road test and the addition of a safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly known as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Before the test, students can study traffic regulations through driver simulation test software on mobile or computer devices.

When I passed the Subject 4 test, I got my license right at the DMV—super convenient! Most places issue the license immediately after passing. The staff will print your driver's license on the spot, and you just need to sign it before pocketing it and leaving. If they're too busy or the system acts up that day, you might have to wait two or three days at most. I recommend bringing a document folder to the test because the staff will also give you a probationary driver decal to stick on your car. When receiving your license, double-check your name and the permitted vehicle types—don’t get too carried away with the excitement!

Getting the driver's license on the same day after passing Subject 4 is standard practice. From accompanying friends to tests in different cities several times, I've noticed significant efficiency variations: in tier-1 cities it might take up to 3 days for mail delivery, while at small city test centers you typically get it immediately. Staff will take your photo on-site before issuing the license (wearing dark-colored clothes is crucial), and the card printer will hum for about ten minutes. However, during a system upgrade last year, our driving school batch had to wait a week - it's safest to maintain contact with your instructor.

Passing the subject 4 test and getting your driver's license is as quick as receiving a courier! My cousin just got his license last month—after finishing the test, he waited in the lounge for about half an hour scrolling through his phone before his name was called. The DMV's license production equipment is super advanced now, offering a one-stop service for taking ID photos, laminating, and sealing. Those who take the morning test can usually get their license by noon, while afternoon test-takers might have to wait depending on the day's progress. But if you've failed a subject and have to retake it, retrieving your file might take an extra couple of days—just keep your ID card handy and don’t wander off.

Getting your driver's license takes less time than cooking pasta! Remember to bring your original ID and exam admission ticket (digital version is acceptable). Don't leave in a hurry after the test. Keep an eye on the hall screen for your number—last time I chatted with fellow test-takers for just ten minutes before getting mine. In some areas, you might need to wait for mail delivery, so double-check your shipping address. When receiving your license, they'll remind you about the probation period rules—if you lose all 12 points, you'll have to retake the test!
