1 Answers
Driver identity card application locations: Overseas personnel (foreign nationals, residents of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan regions of China, and overseas Chinese) should apply at the Foreign Affairs Management Section of the Vehicle Management Office; others should apply at the branch office of the Vehicle Management Office corresponding to the address on their identity document. Required documents for driver identity card application: A duly completed 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form'; original health certificate issued by a county-level or above medical institution designated by the provincial health bureau or a regiment-level or above medical institution designated by the military or armed police. Staff of foreign embassies, consulates, and international organizations in China holding foreign driver's licenses should apply according to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity; original and photocopy of the applicant's identity document; original and photocopy of the applicant's foreign driver's license. For documents not in Chinese, a Chinese translation must also be provided; six photographs of the driver. Photo requirements: The applicant must provide a single, half-length, bareheaded, straight side-face ID photo taken within six months prior to the application. Vehicle types eligible for driver identity card application: Applicants can apply for a driver's license corresponding to the vehicle types permitted by their foreign driver's license; however, if the applicant does not meet the conditions (such as age or height) for the corresponding vehicle type, they should apply for a downgraded vehicle type that meets the eligibility criteria.
