How to Apply for an Online Driver's License?
2 Answers
"Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", which requires the applicant's signature; motor vehicle driver's license. Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; if the applicant cannot be present, a jointly signed application form by the applicant and the agent is required. A medical certificate issued by a county-level or above medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above, proving the applicant's physical condition. A straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded, color, single-person half-length ID photo taken within the last 6 months before applying for the motor vehicle driver's license.
I recently applied for my driver's license online, and the whole process went quite smoothly. The first step was to download the official app 'Traffic Management 12123' on my phone, register an account, and complete real-name authentication. I had to fill in basic personal information, including my name and ID number, making sure everything was accurate. Then I uploaded a recent photo with a white background that met the standard requirements. Don’t forget to visit a designated hospital for a physical exam first—after getting the medical report, scan and upload it to the app. Next, I scheduled my written and road tests (Subjects 1 to 4) online, which was very convenient as I could choose the time slots myself. Payment was completed directly via WeChat or Alipay without any hassle. After passing the exams, the electronic driver's license was automatically pushed to my phone, while the physical copy could be picked up or mailed to my home. This saved me the time of queuing at the DMV, making it especially suitable for young people and busy professionals looking to save effort. Just remember to use only official channels throughout the process to avoid phishing scams.
