How Long Does It Take to Get the License After Passing Subject 4?

After passing Subject 4, you can receive the license on-site, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-traffic accident handling knowledge. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and common sense test, commonly known as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Since 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.
I just passed the fourth subject test and I'm so excited! The time to get the driver's license is usually very fast! Normally, you can pick it up on the same day at the counter right at the test center—that's how I got mine in the city. In some places, you might have to wait a day or two, and if it's mailed, it could take three to five days, but generally no more than a week at the latest. My advice is not to rush off after the test—ask the staff if there's any additional paperwork needed to avoid delays. Once I got my license, I immediately found a friend to practice driving with. The beginner phase requires taking it slow—safety first. Driving is a kind of freedom, but it also comes with great responsibility, so don’t forget the traffic rules just because you're eager to get your license. Review the traffic rules regularly, and the waiting period after the test is a great time to reinforce your knowledge.
