How long does it take to get the driver's license after passing the subject 4 test in Weihai?

Some people can receive the license immediately after passing the test, while others may experience some delays, typically obtaining it within a week. In areas with lower efficiency, it might take a bit longer, usually around 15 days to get the license. Receiving the license after passing subject 4: After passing the subject 4 test, you are required to undergo at least 30 minutes of traffic safety and civilized driving education, including case studies of traffic accidents, and participate in a license oath ceremony. Only then will the vehicle management office issue the driver's license. Methods of receiving the license: There are several ways to receive the license: immediate issuance upon passing the test; mailing to the individual; picking it up at the driving school; or collecting it at the vehicle management office. Getting the license right after the test is the most convenient option. If immediate issuance is not available, choose the most convenient method for you.
Last year, I passed the subject four test in Weihai, and I got my driver's license just over an hour after finishing the test that afternoon. I felt super excited! The whole process was quite fast, mainly depending on the processing speed of the vehicle management office. If you have all your documents ready, bring your ID card, and prepare photos in advance, you can usually get your license on the same day. I’ve heard some people had to wait a day or two due to incomplete materials or system issues, but in most cases, it doesn’t take more than three days. I recommend checking with the driving school beforehand about the specific preparation requirements to save time. Also, don’t rush to drive right after getting your license—make sure to read the probationary period rules carefully first, as safety comes first. Remember, holidays or peak periods might cause delays, so it’s best to take the test on a weekday to avoid long queues.
I've been teaching driving for many years, and here in Weihai, I always tell my students this: After passing Subject Four, you can usually get your driver's license within a day or two, depending on the review process on that day. The procedure is that after submitting your test results, the vehicle management office will quickly verify your information and issue the license if everything is correct. If any materials are missing, you might need to supplement them, which could delay things slightly. I advise students to check their ID cards and driving school documents the night before the test, go straight to take the exam without any detours, and typically, it only takes an hour or two to complete. The key is not to worry about it taking too long—the system is much more advanced now and faster than in the past. I also remind them to adapt to safe driving habits after getting the license, not just focus on the excitement, as safety is the long-term priority.
