What is the validity period for obtaining a driver's license?
2 Answers
The validity period for obtaining a driver's license is three years starting from passing Subject 1. Relevant introduction to driving skills is as follows: Test results become invalid if not completed within the validity period: Applicants learning to drive on training grounds and roads should obtain a learning-to-drive certificate as required. The validity period of the learning-to-drive certificate is three years. Applicants must complete Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subjects will become invalid. Issuance of driving skill test permit: For first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license or applicants adding permitted driving models, the vehicle management office should issue a driving skill test permit within one day after passing Subject 1.
I just started learning to drive last year, and my instructor told me that the validity period for the driver's license test is three years, starting from the day you pass the theoretical test (Subject 1). Within these three years, you must quickly complete the remaining Subject 2 (field test) and Subject 3 (road test). Otherwise, all your previous results will be invalidated, and you'll have to start over from scratch. I was procrastinating at the time, failed Subject 2 twice, and almost ran out of time, so I had to practice like crazy. Don’t follow my example—it’s best to sign up for the road test within six months after passing Subject 1. The booking slots for the test centers are tight, so you should queue up early during peak periods. Finishing early saves you the hassle; otherwise, you’ll have to pay registration and tuition fees again, wasting both money and time. With so many people learning to drive now and limited slots available, get it on your schedule ASAP—don’t wait until the last minute and end up in a panic.
