Bring your original ID card, photocopy of ID card, original residence permit and its photocopy; fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Driving License Application Form' and pay the handling fee. If an agent is handling it, they should bring the original organization code certificate of the company, original letter of authorization from the company, original ID card of the principal, company contact number, etc., and pay the handling fee. Log in to the traffic management website, print and fill out the 'Motor Vehicle License Plate and Certificate Application Form', prepare all personal documents, and wait for the courier to collect the documents, materials, and fees at your doorstep.
Don't panic if you lose your driving test transcript. Once after an exam, I misplaced my document folder during a move and was frantic. Later, contacting the DMV, they said I needed to submit copies of my ID and household registration, fill out a lost declaration form, and wait for staff verification to get a replacement. The fee was just a few dozen yuan, not expensive, but the process took several days. This taught me that important documents are best scanned and backed up to the cloud or photocopied in advance. Delaying replacement could cause issues when applying for a license, renewing it, or during employment background checks—big trouble ahead. I recommend handling the loss immediately to avoid disruptions to daily commutes or risks of invalid temporary proofs. Safety first; developing these small habits can save a lot of hassle.
