To upgrade your driver's license, you need to meet the following requirements: Age between 20 and 60 years old; Height not less than 155cm; Hold a C1 driver's license for at least 1 year; No record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application; Visual acuity must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; No record of drunk driving or being primarily responsible for a traffic accident causing casualties while holding a C1 driver's license. Specific process for applying for a B2 driver's license: Apply to the vehicle management office for upgrading to a B2 driver's license; Fill out the application form, submit ID card and physical examination form, and provide the original copy of your current driver's license; Participate in theoretical and practical exams as scheduled; Within 7 working days after passing the exams, the vehicle management office will issue the new-level driver's license.
I've helped a friend with upgrading from C1 to B2 license before, and there are quite a few requirements. The applicant must be at least 20 years old and have held a C1 license for at least one year. It's crucial that they haven't accumulated 12 penalty points in the most recent scoring cycle - many people fail because of this. Physical requirements include being at least 155cm tall with vision reaching 5.0 (corrective glasses are acceptable for nearsightedness). There must be no record of drunk driving or major traffic accident responsibility, such as causing death with primary liability. The application must be processed either at the license issuing location or in a city with residence permit, as cross-region procedures are more complicated. Prepare ID card, original driver's license, and medical examination report when registering - the medical test includes basic items like vision and color discrimination. The entire process is more challenging than C1, especially the field test in Subject 2, so it's advisable to reserve three to four months for practice.
