About ten days. The test content includes the following four parts: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic, traffic signals, traffic safety violations and accident handling, regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules; 2. Subject 2: Testing the ability to reverse into a parking space, the mastery of motor vehicle driving skills, and the ability to judge the spatial position of a motor vehicle; 3. Subject 3: The performance of driving a motor vehicle on the road to complete test items, compliance with traffic laws and regulations, and the comprehensive control of a motor vehicle; the correct use of lights, horns, seat belts, and other devices; the ability to correctly observe and judge road traffic conditions; 4. Subject 4: Separating the knowledge about safe and civilized driving requirements from Subject 1, as well as safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling in critical situations, conducted after the actual road driving test of 'Subject 3' to further test the candidate's level of traffic awareness.

After passing the driving test's subject four last year, I immediately submitted the filing materials. The staff said the processing time is usually around 7 to 10 working days, so I waited patiently. Since all the materials were well-prepared and the medical report was fine, I received a notification text message on the eighth day, asking me to collect the license at the DMV. Actually, it depends on the location—big cities are more efficient, maybe around 5 days, while small towns might take up to two weeks. It's recommended to check if the photo is clear and the ID documents are complete before filing, otherwise, supplementing materials will take even longer. After getting the license, driving for the first time felt amazing, but remember to follow the rules and don’t rush to speed. Checking the progress on the DMV’s app regularly is more convenient.

When applying for a driver's license, after completing the filing procedures, it usually takes 7 to 15 working days to receive the license. The processing time varies by region—for instance, first-tier cities are faster. In my medium-sized city, it took about 8 days. Having complete materials is crucial; photos and medical reports must meet requirements, or delays of a week or two may occur. From personal experience, avoid frequent follow-ups after submission—wait for the SMS notification to collect the license. Before receiving it, I recommend reviewing traffic rules using driving school materials to avoid mistakes as a new driver. The whole process is smooth—just stay patient and don’t overcomplicate minor issues. Remember to update your insurance after getting the license.

After submitting the documents for a driver's license, it usually takes 7 to 10 working days to get it. When I applied, I submitted my medical report and photos, and waited for a little over a week. During that time, there wasn't much to do, so I just thought about where to drive for fun. If all the materials are complete, it's quick, but blurry photos or medical issues can extend the process to two or three weeks. The speed varies by local DMV, and you can check the progress online. After getting the license, familiarize yourself with basic car operations, such as brake lights. Don't rush onto the highway; it's safer to practice a few rounds with an experienced driver. The whole process is quite straightforward, with no complicated jargon.
