How long does it take to get the driver's license after passing the full-score exam?

After achieving a perfect score in the Motor Vehicle Driver's License Subject 4 exam, you need to wait until the exam session concludes. All qualified candidates will receive their motor vehicle driver's license. When collecting the license, there is an oath-taking ceremony (though it's not mandatory), after which you can legally operate motor vehicles. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Full score of driver's license: The maximum score for a motor vehicle driver's license is 400 points, with Subject 1 exam worth 100 points, Subject 2 exam worth 100 points, Subject 3 exam worth 100 points, and Subject 4 exam worth 100 points. The combined perfect score for all four subjects is 400 points. Note that there's no difference between achieving the maximum score and just passing - both result in obtaining the motor vehicle driver's license. 2. Post-exam scores: The actual score doesn't matter. For example, whether you score 100 points or 90 points in the Subject 1 exam makes no difference - both allow you to schedule the Subject 2 exam. There are no additional benefits for higher scores, and you cannot proceed earlier.
I just went through this last month. After passing the exam, I went straight to the DMV. I brought my ID card and a few one-inch photos, submitted the materials at the counter, and got my new license in just over 10 minutes. The whole process was smooth, but if you forget the photos, you might have to go back home and waste time. Remember, don’t drive immediately after passing the exam—you’re still unlicensed. The DMV is crowded, so going early in the morning saves queuing time. The exam was a retake of Subject 1 after losing 12 points. Passing it was a relief, but I’ll be more careful about speeding in the future. Overall, getting it done in one day was pretty efficient.
