What to Do If the Driving License Training Time Card Is Lost?
2 Answers
If the driving license training time card is lost, it needs to be reissued by the relevant department. The following are the precautions for reissuing a driving license: 1. If the reissuance is successful but the new license has not been received, the original license cannot be used to drive a motor vehicle: If the driving license reissuance application is accepted, but due to time constraints, the new license is not received on the same day, driving is not allowed during this "gap period" until the new license is obtained. Otherwise, it will be considered as driving without a license. 2. After obtaining a new license, the original driving license becomes invalid: If the driving license is lost and a new one is reissued, even if the original license is found later, it will be considered invalid, and the new license should be used as the valid document.
If you lose your training hours card, I suggest contacting the driving school or instructor immediately. They will guide you on the next steps, usually requiring an ID copy at the office for a replacement. The card logs practice time, and losing it might affect exam eligibility, but don't worry too much—electronic records are backed up. The replacement mainly serves as ID proof. I recall losing mine during training and panicking, but reporting to the instructor got me a new card the same day. Keep important documents secure, not in your wallet; consider a separate card holder. Before exams, check all materials to avoid last-minute issues. Photographing the card info as backup saves hassle later. Replacing takes time, but honesty is safer than hiding it—safety first.
