The validity period of the driving skills admission ticket certificate is three years. Below is additional information: 1. Applicants learning to drive on training grounds and roads must obtain a learning-to-drive certificate as required. The learning-to-drive certificate is valid for three years, and applicants must complete the subject two and subject three tests within this period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subjects will be invalidated. 2. The learning-to-drive certificate can be issued in paper or electronic form, both of which have equal validity. Applicants can print or download the learning-to-drive certificate through the comprehensive internet traffic safety service management platform. 3. According to Article 44 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," each subject test can be taken once, with one retake allowed if failed. If the retake is not taken or is still failed, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test.

I'm a driving instructor with over ten years of experience. The validity period of the driving skills test permit is exactly three years, starting from the day you pass the subject one test. Three years is enough to complete all the tests, but don't procrastinate. Every year, some students wait until the last six months to start practicing for subject three, only to end up retaking the test after expiration and wasting extra money. I suggest planning your time immediately after obtaining the permit, aiming to finish within two years. Remember to bring this document for every test, as retakes are also counted within the three-year period. Nowadays, it's safest to take a photo of it and keep an electronic copy, as replacing a lost one is particularly troublesome.

As someone who just got my driver's license last year, I can tell you from experience: the three-year validity period of the test permit is real. Right after passing the written test, I marked the expiration date in my phone calendar. My driving instructor said three years might seem long, but waiting in line for tests can take two months, failing means rescheduling, and taking time off work is difficult—so it's actually quite tight. A colleague of mine failed the second road test three times and delayed too long, ending up taking the third road test just three days before the deadline, sweating bullets. So don't believe the 'take your time' advice; it's safest to finish within a year and a half.

The regulations for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license clearly state: The validity period of the driving skill test permit is exactly three years, starting from the day you pass the theoretical exam. If it expires, you'll have to reapply and pay the fees again. This time frame is set to give trainees ample practice time while preventing indefinite delays. Be mindful of the retake limits for each subject—both the second and third subjects have five attempts each within these three years. It's advisable to keep the original permit and ID card together, as they are mandatory for exams. Don't panic if exams are canceled due to heavy rain or similar reasons—such cases don't count against the validity period.
