How soon can I get my driver's license?
2 Answers
It takes at least 40 days to get a driver's license. Here are the details: 1. Registration: You can only take the theory test 10 days after registration. The test consists of 100 questions, and you need to score at least 90 to proceed to the next step. If you pass the first subject at once, you still need to wait 10 days before taking the second subject test and completing the second subject training. 2. Subject 2: After the first subject test, it takes about 20 days to take the second subject test. Even if you pass the second subject without failing, you still need about 30 days to proceed to the third subject. 3. Subject 3: If you pass the second subject without failing, you can start practicing for the third subject. However, you need to wait 10 days after completing the third subject training before you can register for the test, which usually takes about a week of practice. 4. Subject 4: The third and fourth subjects can be taken together. In summary, if you want to pass the test as soon as possible, it will take at least 40 days to get your driver's license.
I got my C1 driver's license in just 38 days when I was learning to drive, which was an exceptionally smooth process. The key is to find a driving school that offers accelerated courses—start practical training immediately after passing the theory test and spend seven to eight hours daily at the training ground. It's best to take the Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests consecutively without breaks. Our driving school had intensive training classes where instructors closely followed each student's progress, saving a lot of time on scheduling. However, this is easier to achieve in small or medium-sized cities with more flexible test scheduling. In metropolises like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, test slots are fully booked, making it harder to speed up the process. You can collect your license on the same day after passing Subject 4, provided you haven't failed any subjects.
