When Can You Get Your Driver's License After Passing Subject 4?
2 Answers
After passing Subject 4, you can receive your license on the spot, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The main content includes: safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on handling traffic accidents. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, pictures, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly known as 'Subject 4,' which assesses 'driving ethics.' Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Before the test, students can study traffic regulations through driver's license simulation test software on mobile or computer devices.
I just finished the subject four exam, and I was absolutely thrilled! Generally, you can get your driver's license within a day or two after passing. I went to the designated location to collect it the next day after the exam, and the staff there were very efficient—just needed my ID card and exam records to get it done. If you're not in a hurry to get it the same day, it's best to ask about the collection time and location right after the exam, such as the service points at the traffic police station or exam center, to avoid missing any notifications. Some areas support mailing, but picking it up in person is faster. Don’t delay too long, as it might affect your driving plans. After getting the license, you can finally drive legally—just remember to familiarize yourself with the rules and avoid mistakes. The overall process is smooth; once you pass subject four, the license is pretty much guaranteed—just a little patience is needed.
