How long does it take to obtain a D-class license?

There is no fixed time frame for obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, as it depends on the applicant's aptitude and the scheduling of learning and examination times in different regions. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: 1. Classification: The Ministry of Public Security officially issued the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards," which introduced a grading system for motor vehicle driver's licenses. Licenses are divided into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. 2. Renewal regulations: If a motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 or more penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If they again do not accumulate 12 or more penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license.
The time to obtain a D license varies from person to person. In my case, it took nearly two months from registration to getting the license. After enrolling in the driving school, there was a week of theoretical classes. Once I passed the written test (Subject 1), I started practical training—about an hour a day for over a week. Mastering turns and hill climbs in the closed-course driving (Subject 2) took me three weeks, including exam preparation. The road test (Subject 3) was scheduled for the following week, and after passing the final theory test (Subject 4), I received my license directly. The driving school's scheduling is crucial—limited exam slots or delays can slow the process. Retakes are common; the fastest I've seen is three weeks, but it's safer to practice thoroughly for one-time success. During training, focus on building solid skills rather than rushing progress.
