Is a residence permit required for taking the driver's license test in Xiangtan?
2 Answers
Yes. Here is the introduction: 1. Intra-provincial driver's license test: For taking the driver's license test in a different city within the same province, residents can directly apply with their ID card and do not need to submit a residence permit or temporary residence registration certificate. 2. Inter-provincial driver's license test: For residents working across provinces, after obtaining a residence permit from any city in the province, they can directly apply for a small car driver's license within the province. Below is additional information about the theoretical test: 1. Theoretical test: It mainly covers mechanical knowledge, driving rules, road markings, traffic regulations, and safe and civilized driving. 2. Test scores: 100 randomly selected questions are given on the computer, with a passing score of 90. There are two attempts. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a retake is allowed. If still unsuccessful, a fee of 150 yuan (varies by location) is required for another retake.
Alright, when it comes to whether a residence permit is required for obtaining a driver's license in Xiangtan, I have to say that if you're originally a local resident with a Xiangtan household registration, you can simply use your ID card to enroll in a driving school—it's quite convenient. However, for those coming from other places, like me who moved from another city in Hunan, a residence permit is mandatory. Driving schools will check this document during enrollment because they need to register your address to facilitate the arrangement of subsequent subject exams. But don’t worry, getting a residence permit isn’t difficult. You can first apply for temporary residence registration at the local police station, convert it to a formal one after a few months, or even use a work certificate as a substitute. When I took the test, I delayed my driving practice progress because I didn’t get it done in time. So, I recommend preparing it at least one month in advance to avoid any hiccups when scheduling the theory test (Subject 1) and the medical check-up, and to focus more on learning traffic rules with peace of mind.
