Requirements for upgrading from a C1 to an A1 driver's license: The A1 license is the highest-level passenger vehicle driving license. To upgrade to an A1 license, you must first upgrade to a B license before you can upgrade to an A1. The prerequisite for upgrading to a B1 license is holding a C1 license for at least two years, being between 20 and 60 years old, and having no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the two most recent scoring cycles before applying, with no outstanding traffic violations. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" of the People's Republic of China, the following conditions must be met for upgrading to an A1 (large passenger vehicle) license: You must have held a B1 (medium-sized passenger vehicle) or B2 (large truck) license for at least five years, or held a tractor license for at least two years, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the five most recent consecutive scoring cycles before applying. If you hold a B1 or B2 license, you can upgrade to an A1 license by meeting the following conditions: Hold an A3 or B1 license for at least two years, or a B2 license for at least three years, or an A2 license for at least one year. There should be no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the three most recent consecutive scoring cycles before applying, and you must be between 22 and 60 years old. The A1 license permits driving large passenger vehicles and also allows driving vehicles under the A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M license categories.
