Is the driver's license mailed?
2 Answers
The driver's license can be mailed or picked up in person, depending on the individual's actual situation. When choosing to mail the driver's license, it is important to select a reliable courier service to prevent loss. Delivery time for mailing the driver's license: Currently, driver's licenses are sent via China Post EMS, and it usually takes three working days to receive the license. In some cases, it may arrive as early as the next day. If it does not arrive on time, you can call the logistics company to inquire. Alternatively, you can choose to pick up the driver's license in person at the local vehicle management office's licensing center, which also takes three working days. How to track the driver's license shipment: You can track the detailed logistics status by entering the tracking number on the courier company's website. EMS tracking website: Kuaidi100 - EMS Mail Tracking; China Post Parcel tracking website: Kuaidi100 - China Post Express Tracking.
I remember when I first got my driver's license, I was also worried about whether it would be mailed to my home, and it turned out it would. Nowadays in China, after passing both the theoretical and road tests, the local DMV will directly mail the driver's license to you, which is very convenient. However, it's important to ensure the address filled in during the application is accurate; otherwise, it might not be received. The postage is usually included in the exam fees. If you don't receive it within a week, don’t worry—you can call or check the status online, or visit the local DMV to inquire. A temporary permit can also be used for a few days. Now there’s even an electronic driver's license that can be checked on your phone, which is super convenient, avoiding any delays caused by missing the mail. In short, mailing is the standard procedure, saving you the hassle of making trips, so just wait patiently.
