What to Do If You Lose Your Driving Test Student Certificate?
2 Answers
Students can bring their original ID card and student certificate to the nearby driving management office to schedule the exam themselves. If lost, it can be reissued. You need to provide the student's ID card, the driving school's learning hour record, and the fee for reissuing the student certificate.
When I first started learning to drive, I lost my student permit and panicked. I immediately asked my instructor what to do, and he told me not to worry and to report it to the driving school office first. I needed to bring a copy of my ID card and a photo, fill out an application form for a replacement, and pay a fee. Usually, it takes about two days to get a new one. That time, I lost it on the bus and almost missed my exam, but luckily, the replacement was processed quickly. Now I’ve learned my lesson—I always put the permit in a dedicated pocket in my bag after use, instead of stuffing it randomly in my pocket. Everyone should remember that losing your permit can affect your exam schedule, so deal with it early to avoid stress. Otherwise, missing the deadline might mean having to re-register, which is even more troublesome. If there’s no driving school nearby, you can also call and ask—just make sure to prepare the required documents and don’t delay.
