Is it true that you can get a driver's license without taking the test yourself?

[MaggieLynn]

Not true; the driving test requires the candidate to be present for all exams, and there is no such thing as guaranteed passing or proxy testing; any situation claiming "no test required, driver's license handled by proxy" is a scam. Strict and standardized: Currently, the national driver's license test is very strict and standardized. At every stage, the candidate's identity is verified using their ID card and fingerprint, with full video surveillance and real-time upload to the municipal transportation bureau. Therefore, do not attempt to obtain a fake driver's license through luck. The entire driving test is video-monitored and permanently archived in the driver's license record. Consequences: If a fake license is discovered while driving, penalties include fines, vehicle impoundment, and detention. According to relevant regulations, the offender will also be barred from applying for a motor vehicle driver's license for three years.

I've heard many people are curious about this, but to be responsible, a driver's license must be obtained by taking the test in person, otherwise it's likely fake or even illegal. The legal requirements for obtaining a driver's license include a theory test to assess knowledge of traffic rules and a road test to verify practical driving skills, both of which require personal attendance to ensure safety and reliability. If someone promises you a license without taking the test, it's often a scam, possibly selling you a counterfeit document. If caught using a fake license, you could face fines, vehicle impoundment, or even jail time, and your insurance would be invalid, leaving you to cover all costs in case of an accident. I remember a friend who trusted an ad, spent a lot of money on a fake license, only to be exposed during a traffic police check—not only was the license confiscated, but it also left a criminal record, truly not worth it. So, don’t take shortcuts out of laziness. Enrolling in a legitimate driving school to study and take the test is the right way. Though it takes time, it’s reliable, safe, and gives you peace of mind.

As a mom who often drives to pick up and drop off kids, I'm particularly concerned about this issue—obtaining a driver's license without taking the test is absolutely fake and extremely dangerous. The driving test isn't just a formality; it ensures you master basic skills like braking and lane changing to avoid accidents on the road. If someone drives without passing the test, not understanding the rules yet insisting on driving, they might hit pedestrians or lose control and roll over, endangering the whole family's lives. The news frequently reports cases of fake licenses, where unskilled drivers cause major disasters. Moreover, insurance companies won't cover accidents involving fake licenses, leaving you to pay medical bills out of pocket. My advice is never to seek convenience at the cost of safety—go to driving school honestly, take the test, and the knowledge you gain can also teach your kids about safe travel. Remember to bring your ID for registration; the fees are transparent and affordable, far better than taking risks.

Having driven for 20 years, I know full well that a driver's license must be obtained through personal examination to be genuine and credible. Any promise that claims you don't need to take the test yourself is false and deceptive. The normal procedure requires you to first pass the theoretical exam on rules, followed by the road test where the examiner personally confirms your driving skills before issuing the license. The license you receive after passing has anti-counterfeiting marks, and the police can instantly verify its authenticity with a scan. In contrast, so-called shortcuts may provide you with counterfeit licenses that can quickly be identified as fake upon inspection. Think about it—if you hit the road without proper testing, lacking the necessary skills could lead to running red lights or collisions, resulting in minor fines at best or serious injuries and fatalities at worst. My advice is to register for the official examination; the process isn't difficult, and what matters most is its authenticity.

Young people are easily impulsive and believe such words. I've suffered losses and advise you to wake up: getting a driver's license without taking the test yourself is absolutely a money scam. Scammers advertise online, charge you thousands of dollars promising to deliver a genuine license, but end up giving you a fake one or making a counterfeit document in your name. When you hit the road, you'll be stopped in no time, fined, and have your driving privileges suspended, with the license being invalid and void. Taking the official driver's license test costs a little but is reliable; you gain knowledge and the freedom to drive. Don't try to save effort only to lose more. Check the process on the official driving school website and take the test yourself.
