How many days does it take to obtain an A2 driver's license?

Obtaining an A2 driver's license typically takes about 3 months. The A2 license can only be acquired through an upgrade process. To upgrade to an A2 license, you must submit an application to the local vehicle management office in your registered residence. Only after approval from the vehicle management office can you proceed to the corresponding driving school for training. Below are the relevant details: 1. According to Article 14 of Decree No. 123: To apply for an upgrade to the tractor driving category, you must already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and have had a medium-sized bus or large truck license for at least three years, or a large passenger vehicle license for at least one year. Additionally, you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in any of the last three scoring cycles before applying. 2. A2 driver's license examination requirements: The A2 license is designated for tractors. Due to the special nature of this vehicle type, the A2 license can only be obtained through an upgrade. This means you must first obtain a B1 or B2 license before upgrading to an A2 license. However, full-time students in professional driving education programs can directly upgrade from a C1 to an A2 license.
It typically takes about 60 to 90 days to obtain an A2 driver's license. This includes enrolling in a driving school from scratch, spending a few weeks studying theory, and then taking the subject one exam. Practical training is time-consuming, requiring at least one or two weeks of practice to master the driving skills for a tractor. Following that are the subject two and subject three road tests, and after passing, you'll need to wait a few days to receive the license. Personally, I found that a more intensive schedule could shorten the time, such as practicing hard on weekends without slacking off, which might allow you to complete it in just over two months. Of course, it also depends on how quickly the driving school schedules lessons and the availability of exam slots. If you can't secure a test slot promptly after enrollment, the process will take even longer. It's advisable to inquire about the specific procedures at local driving schools in advance and plan your time well to avoid delays.
