What procedures are required to change from C1 to C2?
2 Answers
The procedures required to change from C1 to C2 are: bring the motor vehicle driver's license and your ID card to the vehicle management office to fill out the motor vehicle driver's license downgrade confirmation form. A C2 motor vehicle driver's license only allows driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars or cargo vehicles, and no longer permits driving manual transmission vehicles. A driver's license refers to the legal certificate issued by the management department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination. The documents required for reissuing a driver's license include: 1. A motor vehicle driver's license application form signed by the license holder; 2. The original and a copy of the license holder's ID card; 3. The license holder's digital photo and the receipt of the driver's license digital photo inspection; 4. A written statement of loss of the motor vehicle driver's license signed by the license holder.
Switching from a C1 to a C2 driver's license is actually quite simple. I've been driving automatic transmission cars for several years and find this conversion worthwhile. Just handle the procedures at the local vehicle management office, bringing your original ID card, current C1 license, and a few one-inch photos. Booking an appointment in advance on the 12123 APP can save time—fill out an application form selecting the downgrade to C2, then take a medical exam to prove your vision is normal. The cost is just a few dozen yuan, and the whole process takes about two hours. After conversion, a C2 license only allows driving automatic transmission cars, but the benefit is simpler operation—no more worrying about clutch or gear shifts, making city traffic jams less stressful and safer. If you only drive automatic cars, I recommend switching early to reduce the risk of misoperation and focus more on driving skills.
