What is required to apply for a Class D license?
3 Answers
D license is a tricycle driver's license. Applicants can register at a driving school, and the subsequent procedures will be handled by the driving school. Class D driver's license: D (ordinary tricycle motorcycle): Authorized to drive tricycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h. Other authorized vehicle types: E, F. Class E driver's license: E (ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle): Authorized to drive two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h. Class F driver's license: F (light motorcycle): Authorized to drive motorcycles with an engine displacement less than or equal to 50ml and a maximum design speed less than or equal to 50km/h.
To apply for a D-class driver's license, you mainly need to prepare several items. The original and photocopy of your ID card are mandatory, along with eight one-inch bareheaded photos with a white background. A medical examination report is also required, which can be done at designated hospitals, mainly checking vision, color discrimination, and limb mobility. When I accompanied a friend to apply, I noticed many places also require a photocopy of your existing driver's license—if you're upgrading from a C-class license. Nowadays, most driving schools can collect the materials for you, but it's best to call ahead to confirm the number of photos needed, as requirements vary by location. Also, prepare an application fee ranging from 600 to 1,500, depending on whether you're learning in a city or a rural area.
I just upgraded to a D license last year, and the process was actually quite straightforward. First, choose a driving school—they'll provide you with a list of designated hospitals for the medical checkup. The key is the vision test; if you're nearsighted, wearing glasses during the test is acceptable. Make sure your application materials include a residence permit or temporary residence certificate, especially for those applying in a different location. For the theory test, you need to complete the required study hours, and nowadays, most people practice using the 'Driving Test Prep' app. The fees typically cover training, examination, and certification costs, with additional charges for retakes. Opting for three-wheeled motorcycle training is crucial—don’t be misled into practicing on two-wheelers, as the actual test vehicles are all three-wheeled motorcycles.
