How Long Does It Take to Receive the Driver's License After Passing Subject Four?

Generally, the vehicle management office distributes the driver's license to the driving school where the student is enrolled, and then the driving school issues it to the student; or it is mailed directly to the student. Distribution to the driving school or mailing usually takes about three to four days, and in some cases, it may take up to a week. Additionally, in some regions, the license can be obtained on the spot. After passing Subject Four, the staff at the vehicle management office will immediately produce the driver's license. Under guidance, the student will participate in a safety education session and complete the oath-taking ceremony before receiving the license. Regulations on the issuance of driver's licenses: Article 55 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' stipulates: After passing the exam, applicants must receive no less than half an hour of traffic safety and civilized driving common sense education, as well as case-based traffic accident safety education, and participate in the license receipt oath-taking ceremony.
Just passed the subject four test, I was super excited as a newbie candidate. I waited on-site for about half an hour and got my license. After the test, the results were reviewed on the spot. Once passed, the staff printed the driving certificate letter and the probation sticker. Some test centers might be crowded and require waiting until the next day, but this time it was quite fast for me. After getting the license, it's best to check the accuracy of personal information to avoid errors and the need for reapplication. New drivers have a one-year probation period, remember to display the probation sign, and don't drive on highways without supervision. If you fail the subject four test, don't panic! You can retake it unlimited times, with just a few days' interval between each attempt. My friend passed on the second try. The whole process was smoother than expected. It's recommended to prepare photos and ID in advance to facilitate the process. You can legally drive right after passing, but start with small roads first, safety comes first.
