What is the process for adding a D license to a C1 license?

C1 to D license upgrade process is as follows: If you already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and wish to add an additional vehicle class, you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle prior to application. If the above requirements are met, you can submit an application to add a D or E vehicle class at the location where your C1 license was issued. To upgrade your license, you must have a local household registration in the area where you wish to upgrade, and the license issuing authority must also be local. If you do not have local household registration or a local license relationship, the application will not be processed, and you will need to transfer the relationship. What is a C1 driver's license: A C1 driver's license is a type of motor vehicle driver's license classification. The permitted driving scope of a C1 license includes small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini special purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with seating capacity of 9 or fewer people.

I just completed the process of adding a D-class license to my C1 license, and the whole thing took less than a month. I went directly to the local DMV with my ID card, medical examination certificate, and original C1 license, and paid the registration fee. Then I attended motorcycle training courses, learning basic riding skills and safety knowledge, which included both theory and practical simulation. The theory test was done on a computer, covering traffic rules and motorcycle characteristics; the road test was even more interesting, where I had to ride a motorcycle to complete tasks like starting, turning, and parking. The examiner was strict, but I passed on my first try. After the test, I paid the processing fee, and the new C1D license was mailed to my home. I recommend applying early because summer is the peak season and it gets super crowded—you can also save some training time. Practicing basic operations regularly, like balancing and getting a feel for the bike, is very helpful for the test. These days, commuting by motorcycle is so convenient—it’s much more flexible in city traffic jams. I’m even considering buying a small scooter for daily commuting.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience holding a C1 license, I decided to add a D license a few months ago for the convenience of riding motorcycles. The process was quite straightforward: first, register at the vehicle management office or a designated driving school, submit a copy of my ID and health certificate. I opted for an online course combined with offline practical training, which saved me a lot of running around. The theory exam focused on motorcycle-specific regulations, such as helmet laws and speed limits. The road test was moderately challenging, requiring only straight-line driving, slalom, and braking tests, with the examiner giving on-the-spot scores. After passing, I received my new license in a few days, but it's important to remember to get regular vision checks to ensure safe driving. Motorcycles are really practical, especially for saving fuel and time when navigating narrow roads, and they're great for short weekend trips with the family. The overall cost was quite low—I spent less than a thousand yuan—so it's wise to plan your budget accordingly.

The basic process for obtaining a D license includes several core stages: after submitting the required documents for registration, you will participate in training and exams. The required materials include ID card, driver's license, and medical examination form. The exam consists of two parts: theory and skills. The theory test covers traffic rules, while the skills test assesses motorcycle operations such as starting and stopping. Upon completion, you can receive a new license and upgrade to C1D. Safety is key—always wear a helmet and conduct regular vehicle inspections, avoiding high-speed riding at night. The process is straightforward; choosing a good driving school can help you complete it in one go.
