1 Answers
C1 driver's license upgrade to B1 driver's license requires three years. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if you already hold a C1 driver's license and apply for an additional B1 driving category, you must have held the C1 driving qualification for more than three years and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the most recent three consecutive scoring cycles. As long as you have not accumulated 12 penalty points in the most recent three consecutive scoring cycles, you can apply for the B1 upgrade after holding the C1 license for three years. Specific requirements for the upgrade: You must have held a C1 driver's license for more than three years, with no record of full penalty points in the most recent two scoring cycles, no record of drunk driving, and no record of being primarily or fully responsible in a fatal accident. Applicants must be between 21 and 50 years old, with a height of at least 155 cm, and uncorrected or corrected visual acuity reaching 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. According to China's "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the C1 driver's license covers small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. The B1 license covers medium-sized passenger vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters (such as city buses carrying 10 to 19 passengers) and other permitted driving categories.
