Temporary driver's licenses can be applied for by submitting relevant documents to the appropriate authorities. Below are the specific details regarding the application for a temporary driver's license: 1. Required Documents: 'Temporary Motor Vehicle Driving Permit Application Form'; Entry and Exit Identification Documents; Foreign Motor Vehicle Driver's License (if not in Chinese, a Chinese translation must be provided); Proof of age and physical condition meeting Chinese driving permit requirements; Two one-inch color photos (recent, half-length, front-facing, white background). 2. Eligibility Criteria: Foreign motor vehicle drivers who are temporarily entering the country with approval from national authorities to participate in organized tours, competitions, or other exchange activities; Foreign motor vehicle drivers who will only drive within a certain range of border areas after temporary entry; Foreign motor vehicle drivers who need to drive rented Chinese motor vehicles after temporary entry. For countries that have bilateral or multilateral transit transport agreements with China, applications should be processed according to the agreements. For countries or governments that have mutual recognition agreements for motor vehicle licenses and driver's licenses, applications should be processed according to the agreements.
I just helped my kid apply for a provisional driver's license, and the process was actually quite straightforward. First, download and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" from the DMV website. Then, prepare the ID card, medical examination report, and photos. The medical check must be done at a designated hospital for vision, color recognition, and hearing tests, and the photos should be recent one-inch color photos with a white background taken within the past six months. Next, make an online appointment or go directly to the DMV counter to submit the materials. After verifying the information, the staff will schedule a theory test. When studying, using the "Driving Test Treasure" app to practice questions is very convenient, as the question bank is updated in real time. Once you pass the exam, you can get a paper provisional license on the spot, which allows you to drive ordinary small cars but must be accompanied by an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience. Remember, the provisional license is only valid for three months, and you'll receive a text message to come and exchange it for the official license once it's ready.
Is a temporary driver's license what we call a probationary license? When I took the test last year, I noticed some details were particularly crucial. Before registering, you must complete online traffic safety education hours, which can be done on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. The medical report must include a limb mobility check, and color blindness or weakness may lead to failure. After passing the document review, you'll receive an SMS confirming the exam date, and you need at least 90 points on the written test to pass. After obtaining the license, be extra careful: a temporary license doesn't allow solo highway driving, a 'novice driver' sticker must be displayed on the rear of the vehicle, and accumulating 6 penalty points within 12 months will require retaking the test. Nowadays, the traffic management office operates quite efficiently, usually completing the entire process within two weeks.
