How many days does it take to process a driver's license exam appointment?

Depending on the number of applicants, the processing queue and speed of successful appointment acceptance may vary. Generally, you will receive an SMS notification within one week after making an online appointment. Additional information is as follows: Driver's Exam: The driver's exam is a qualification test organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's exam can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate motor vehicles. Subject 1 Exam: Subject 1, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The Subject 1 exam content includes driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge.
When I was getting my driver's license, I also paid attention to this timeframe. After submitting the application, it usually takes about 3 to 7 business days to receive the processing result. This period is mainly for the vehicle management office to verify the information you submitted, such as checking whether ID photos and medical examination certificates are complete and compliant. I submitted mine on a Monday afternoon and received the SMS notification by Friday morning. If it coincides with holidays or peak application periods, it might take up to around 10 days. Remember to check that your phone has sufficient balance before submission, as they send SMS notifications upon completion—missing it would be troublesome. During this period, it's best not to submit duplicate applications, as it might confuse the system and cause delays.
