What are the requirements for applying for a driver's license?
2 Answers
Requirements for applying for various types of driver's licenses are as follows: 1. C1 driver's license application requirements: Applicants for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, and light motorcycles must be between 18 and 70 years old. Applicants for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery must be between 18 and 60 years old. Applicants for city buses, medium-sized passenger cars, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must be between 21 and 50 years old. Applicants for tractor licenses must be between 24 and 50 years old. Applicants for large passenger car licenses must be between 26 and 50 years old. 2. B2 driver's license application requirements: B2 is commonly known as a large truck license. The application conditions are: age between 21 and 50 years old, height above 155 cm, and naked or corrected vision reaching at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart.
I was also curious about the requirements for a driver's license before, and only after obtaining my C1 license last year did I truly understand. First, you must be at least 18 years old—I was 19 when I applied. Then, a medical examination is mandatory: your vision must be no worse than 4.9, color blindness is disqualifying, and they also check your blood pressure and physical condition. During my hospital check-up, they found my left eye was slightly weak, so I had to get glasses to pass. You also need to bring your ID card and household registration booklet to verify your identity; those from other cities may need a residence permit valid for at least six months. Don’t forget about the criminal record check—no history of drunk driving is allowed. I was questioned multiple times to confirm my clean record before I could register. The theoretical exam requires preparation too; I spent a lot of time practicing test questions, and the actual road test demands strict safety compliance. Though the process seems straightforward, don’t overlook the details. Failing the medical exam means starting over, which could delay your travel plans. In short, if you meet the health, age, and eligibility criteria, getting your license early saves hassle later.
