Generally, the driver's license can be collected on the second working day after passing the exam. The process of obtaining the driver's license: After passing the subject four exam, you must undergo at least 30 minutes of traffic safety and civilized driving common sense education, as well as traffic accident case warning education. You also need to participate in a license collection oath ceremony before the vehicle management office issues the driver's license. Time to receive the driver's license: In some areas, the driver's license can be collected immediately after passing the exam. In places with lower efficiency, it may take about 15 days to receive the license. Methods of obtaining the license: There are four methods: immediate issuance after the exam, mailing to the individual, self-collection from the driving school, or self-collection from the vehicle management office.

In my experience of getting a driver's license last year, the vehicle management office notified me to collect it the day after passing the road test. With my ID card, medical examination certificate, and test pass certificate ready, I got it after queuing for half an hour. The whole process was super smooth—as long as you have all the required documents, there shouldn't be any issues. However, a friend who took the test in a small suburban county had to wait three or four days due to fewer staff and lower efficiency at the local office. I recommend asking your driving school or instructor about the schedule right after the test to prepare early and avoid extra trips. Nowadays, big cities also support online appointments or express delivery services, making it faster and more convenient. In short, don’t worry—it’s common to get it done within a day or two. Wishing you a smooth process and safe driving as a new driver on the road soon!

From my experience in handling driver's license exam procedures, candidates typically receive their license within 1-3 working days after passing. The DMV first verifies exam results and data accuracy before arranging card production and issuance. You should prepare your ID card and original medical examination report, as missing documents may cause delays. I recommend inquiring about the collection process immediately after passing the exam and bringing all required materials to avoid rework. Processing is generally faster in major city centers, possibly obtaining it the next day; remote areas may take slightly longer due to limited resources. The key is ensuring all steps are correctly completed, checking official websites or making phone inquiries when necessary to minimize waiting time. Overall, with some patience, you'll definitely receive it within a week.

Getting your driver's license after passing the test is usually very quick, typically done in 1-2 days. I went directly to the DMV to queue for pickup, brought my ID and test slip, and got it in less than an hour. The process is super simple as long as your documents are in order and nothing goes wrong. If you pass on a weekend or holiday, you might have to wait an extra day or two, but don’t worry—it usually takes no more than three days. It’s best to check the timing in advance to avoid any issues. Safety first!
