What materials are needed to apply for a D driving license?
4 Answers
Original ID card; 8 one-inch white background photos, or electronic one-inch photos; 10 yuan medical examination fee. If you are taking the test in a different location, you will also need to provide a residence permit; if it is an additional license, you will also need to provide the original driving license. Subjects for the D license test: Subject 1: Theoretical knowledge test, the content is similar to the C1 license. Subject 2: Slalom test, the full score is 100, 80 or above is a pass, touching a pole deducts 10 points, knocking over a pole deducts 20 points, and failing if any wheel runs over the edge line of the pole path. Subject 3: Completed together with Subject 2, there is no separate training or test, consisting of five items including turning, width-limited gate, slope parking, slope starting, and single-plank bridge. Requirements for the D license test: The age must be at least 18 years old, and you must pass the physical condition proof for motor vehicle drivers, carry a valid ID, and then you can register at the driving school. The motor vehicle driving license D is for driving ordinary tricycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles.
To obtain a D license (three-wheeled motorcycle), you need to prepare five things. Bring the original ID card for authenticity verification, and prepare four one-inch white background photos—avoid using red/blue backgrounds or artistic photos. The medical examination form must be done at a designated hospital, mainly checking vision (must be 4.9 or above), and color blindness is an absolute disqualification. Non-local residents must also bring the original residence permit, and now registration requires online appointment. A reminder: those applying for an additional license should remember to bring their original car driver’s license. Also, if you wear glasses, make sure they have sufficient prescription in advance—you can’t borrow any at the medical checkup site. The training ground has seen too many people waste trips due to missing materials, so it’s recommended to pack everything in a document folder.
Last time I accompanied my cousin to register, I remembered these requirements: a valid ID card, don’t let it expire without noticing. Don’t use overly retouched photos, or the system’s facial recognition might get stuck. The medical check-up costs 30 yuan—make sure to check if the fingers are intact, as missing three fingers disqualifies you from riding a motorcycle. For the theory test, use the ‘Driving Test Prep’ app to practice. For the practical test, it’s best to borrow a coach’s bike to practice the slalom. Costs range from 800 to 1,500 yuan depending on the region. Remember to bring cash and change, as some payment windows don’t accept mobile payments. The coach secretly said it’s easier than getting a C license, but the DMV requires registration through a driving school—you can’t book the test on your own.
Prepare the following documents: ID card, medical examination form, three photos, and driving school registration certificate. Special note: Those with a C license must bring the original for license upgrade, and the medical examination form requires a hospital's overlapping seal. The fees include examination and training costs, with prices in northern regions being slightly lower than in the south. I've seen someone practicing with an electric tricycle being kicked out by the examiner; you must use a fuel-powered training vehicle. With all materials ready, you can get the license in as fast as 40 days. Wear sports shoes and long pants during the exam; avoid sandals and skirts. Those with myopia must wear framed glasses, as contact lenses won't pass the medical examination.
