What to Do If ID Card Is Lost Before the Subject 1 Exam?

[DeRichard]

If you lose your ID card before the Subject 1 exam, you can apply for a temporary ID card in advance. Without an ID card on the exam day, you cannot take the test. To obtain a temporary ID card, you can apply at the local police station of your permanent residence. The temporary ID card has the same validity as a formal ID card. The admission ticket and other required documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the Subject 1 exam can be taken twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule the exam after ten days. The exam is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. The Subject 1 exam covers the following topics: regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Exam precautions for Subject 1: Pay attention to your attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen. Before entering the exam room, store your personal belongings in a locker. After entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4." The exam lasts 45 minutes.
