What to Do If the Driving Test Expires?

If the driving test expires, you can only re-register for the exam because the record has been canceled. 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" by the Ministry of Public Security: For first-time applicants or those applying to add a permitted vehicle type, within 3 days after passing the subject one exam, the vehicle management office will issue a driving skill test permit. The driving skill test permit is valid for two years, and the applicant must complete subjects two and three within the validity period. If not completed within the deadline, the original record must be canceled through the driving school where you registered, and you must re-register and pay fees to schedule the exam again. 2. Notes: Exam appointments cannot exceed five times. Both subjects two and three have five attempts each. If you fail to pass within the five attempts, you must retake subject one.

I remember when I was first learning to drive, I passed the written test but was too busy to take the road test. Half a year later, it expired, and I had to re-register for the written test, costing me hundreds more and wasting time. I suggest you immediately go to the local DMV or driving school to check your status. Bring your ID card and a one-inch photo to verify your information. If it's indeed expired, you'll likely have to retake that part of the exam. Don’t procrastinate—there are plenty of online resources now to brush up on questions and practice driving skills in advance. This way, you won’t end up like me, rushing around in frustration. Passing the test will also give you peace of mind and make driving safer.

After driving for so many years, I've seen too many novices whose driving tests have expired rush to drive unlicensed vehicles on the road, only to end up in accidents that are not worth the loss. If your driver's license test has expired, don't panic. Contact the driving school or the vehicle management office immediately to check whether the expired subject is the theoretical or the road test part. Usually, the written test is only valid for one or two years, and if it expires, you will need to re-register. Prepare basic materials such as identification and go directly to handle it. Spending a little money to retake the test is always better than taking risks. By the way, remind your friends to follow up on their progress in time after the test. Developing this habit can avoid such troubles. Road safety always comes first.

Last year, my child passed the written test for the driver's license but kept delaying the road test, and we only realized it had expired after three months. We took him to the driving school to reapply, where they simply checked the records to confirm the situation, submitted the documents, and successfully re-registered for the written test. If someone in your family is in a similar situation, I recommend contacting the local authorities promptly. Bring the individual's ID and test score report to inquire. Retaking the test doesn’t take much time, but the key is not to let the family worry about safety. After passing, it’s also helpful to practice driving skills together more often.
