What documents should be prepared before taking the driving test?

[LeCarlos]

To apply for a C1 driver's license, the following materials need to be prepared: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form"; the applicant's original ID card and a copy (photocopied on both sides of A4 paper). Temporary residents also need to prepare the original temporary residence permit and a copy (photocopied on both sides of A4 paper); three one-inch bareheaded color photos with a white background; a physical examination certificate is required. The passing standards for the C1 driver's license test are as follows: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) written test, with a full score of 100, 90 or above is considered passing (including 90). Field driving (Subject 2) on-site, actual vehicle. It is only divided into pass or fail. There are 9 compulsory test items (all without poles), including reversing into a garage, narrow road U-turn, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, curve driving, emergency braking, tunnel, and toll booth card collection. All nine compulsory items must be passed to pass the Subject 2 test. Road driving (Subject 3) on the highway or simulated field, actual vehicle. The test is fully monitored by electronic eyes and traffic police, making the road test more fair.

I just got my driver's license recently. Looking back at the document preparation stage, it seemed simple but very important. The first step is to prepare identification documents, usually the original ID card and copies - make sure the copies are clear. The second step is the medical examination report, where you need to get your vision, hearing, and limb coordination checked at a hospital or designated institution to obtain a health certificate. The third step is preparing several recent white-background photos, with size requirements being 1-inch or 2-inch depending on local regulations. The fourth step is filling out the application form, which can be downloaded and printed from the driving school or official website. By the way, if you have non-local household registration, you might also need a residence permit or temporary residence certificate. Organize all these documents in a folder beforehand so you won't be flustered on exam day. Don't forget to schedule your test - nowadays many places allow mobile app reservations, which is super convenient. I spent extra time practicing driving to build a solid foundation, and with all documents ready, I felt more relaxed and passed the test on my first attempt.

As a father helping my son prepare for his driver's license test, I pay special attention to having all the required documents ready. The most basic is identification—the original ID card must be brought along, and we also keep the household registration booklet as a backup just in case. The medical check-up is essential; we went to a certified hospital to get a health certificate, ensuring his vision meets the requirements. Photos must be freshly taken—old ones might mislead the review process. When filling out the application form, we carefully read all the terms to avoid mistakes that could delay progress. Additionally, I remind everyone that some cities require a no-criminal-record certificate, which needs to be obtained in advance from the local police station. I emphasize these small details to help my son save time and reduce pre-exam anxiety. Although the process seems simple, missing even one document could mean starting over, so early preparation brings peace of mind. I also urge him to review traffic regulations—safety comes first to earn that license.

As a retiree learning to drive for the first time, I just realized that preparing documents before the driving test is crucial. First, bring copies and the original of your ID card, and get the medical report done at designated locations. Prepare one or two 1-inch photos. Fill out the application form clearly without corrections. The whole process takes less than half a day—I completed it last week and found it simple and efficient. Remember not to go for the medical exam on an empty stomach as it might affect the vision test. Once all these are ready, just submit them smoothly at the driving school on the exam day. Don’t worry too much about other things; stay calm, and with all documents prepared, everything will go smoothly.
