How to Schedule an Exam After Completing the A1 Driver's License Probationary Period?
2 Answers
For the A1 driver's license, there is no need to schedule an exam after the probationary period ends. The vehicle management office will notify the driver to take the exam within seven days. Here are the details: 1. Laws and Regulations: For drivers who newly obtain licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, and do not fall under the circumstances specified in Article 69 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the vehicle management office should notify them within seven days after the probationary period ends to participate in an education exam within thirty days. For motor vehicle drivers applying for the education exam, the exam should be arranged on the same day. 2. Failure to Take the Exam After the Probationary Period: For drivers who do not participate in the education exam after the probationary period ends, the traffic management department of the public security authority should arrange the education exam during the driver's first review after the probationary period ends.
I just helped a friend with the post-probation exam scheduling for an A1 driver's license, and the process is actually quite straightforward. First, you must complete the 12-month probation period, then booking through the 12123 APP is the most convenient. After logging into the APP, navigate to the 'Exam Appointment' section under services, enter your license number and ID information, select a nearby test center and suitable date, then submit your application. The review is quick—usually approved within a day or two—after which you just need to pay the fee, which costs a few dozen yuan. On exam day, bring your original ID and driver's license. The test covers theoretical knowledge and safe driving basics, with all questions drawn from the question bank. Reviewing frequently missed questions in the APP beforehand makes passing easier. If you pass, you'll receive your new full license on-site—don’t be late, as missing documents will disqualify you. If you fail, don’t worry; you can reschedule after seven days, though passing on the first try saves hassle. During probation, always follow traffic rules, gain experience, avoid speeding or violations, and the exam will go smoothly.
