How long does it take to get the forklift license after passing the exam?
2 Answers
The certificate will be issued within 10 working days after passing the exam. Below are relevant details: Technical regulations: The forklift license is a special equipment operation certificate, issued by the National Quality Supervision Administration as the "Special Equipment Operation Certificate of the People's Republic of China." Forklifts are categorized as tool vehicles and can only be used within the working premises of a unit; they cannot be driven on public roads as transportation vehicles. Renewal: The forklift license, being a special operation certificate, requires renewal every 4 years. For licenses issued in other regions, renewal should be initiated 1 or 2 months in advance. Failure to renew within the specified period will result in the license being invalidated! Examination: School exams and obtaining the certificate from the Quality Supervision Bureau occur monthly. After passing the forklift exam, results can be checked on the national website within 1-7 working days, and the green book (certificate) is generally received in about a month.
When I took the forklift license exam last year, it took nearly two weeks to receive the certificate after passing. The examiner said the process includes score review, certificate production, and mailing; delays can happen if the testing center is busy or during holidays. Remember to keep your exam record slip and check the progress promptly to avoid issues. Once you get the certificate, you can start operating forklifts—it's crucial. If the mail is slow, don’t worry, just wait patiently. Operating without a license during work can lead to fines, so be careful.
