Is an ID card required for the Subject 2 mock exam?

An ID card is not required for the Subject 2 mock exam. For the official driver's license Subject 2 exam, if you do not have an ID card, you can obtain a temporary ID card from the local public security authority and use it for the driver's license exam. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 2 test items for small vehicles (C1/C2): Include five mandatory test items—reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also have a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. Subject 2 test items for large vehicles (A1/A2/A3/B1/B2): Include pile test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a limited-width gate, driving over continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated scenarios such as highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
I think it's best to bring your ID card for the Subject 2 mock test, just in case. Many driving schools or simulation centers require presenting identification for check-in and verification, just like the actual exam, to prevent impersonation or ineligible participation. I've participated in such activities before and often seen trainees turned away for forgetting their documents, wasting valuable practice time. Therefore, I recommend checking the specific location's policy in advance, but generally, having your ID ready is a wise move that also helps familiarize you with the exam process. Remember to check its validity when carrying it to ensure everything goes smoothly and boost your confidence.
Last month, I personally experienced the Subject 2 mock test, and our driving school explicitly required bringing an ID card for registration and entry. They said this is a standard procedure to verify personal information against enrollment records and prevent identity fraud. Honestly, it's not troublesome—bringing the document allows quick completion of registration, letting everyone focus on practicing. Personally, I find it quite necessary. Forgetting it might mean a wasted trip, costing time and travel expenses. It's best to get used to carrying it, treating it as seriously as going to the actual test site, ensuring the mock test isn't compromised.
