When will the motor vehicle driver's license be issued after passing the exam?

The specific issuance time varies by region after passing the exam, so it depends on the arrangements and regulations of the local vehicle management office. However, the maximum waiting period will not exceed five days. For cases where the license cannot be issued on the spot, the production process is generally completed within one to two days. After completing all exams, the acceptance department of the vehicle management office will review the candidate's subject two and subject three exam materials, as well as verify the results of subject one and subject four exams. If everything is correct, the license production process will begin. The driver's license can be issued on the spot after watching safety and civilized driving-related knowledge in the education hall, which usually coincides with the completion of license production. Documents verification when collecting the license: When receiving the driver's license, be sure to carefully check for any errors, especially in the ID number and name. If any typos or incorrect ID numbers are found, report them immediately. After verifying and confirming everything is correct, sign to acknowledge receipt, and you can legally drive the permitted vehicle types. Please note that you are only allowed to drive the permitted vehicle types. Driving vehicles outside the permitted range is not allowed and will be treated as unlicensed driving.
After passing all the driving test subjects, I was especially looking forward to the day of receiving my license. Generally, the qualified test materials will be submitted to the DMV for processing, and under normal circumstances, the license will be mailed within 5 to 7 working days. I remember finishing my test on a Tuesday and receiving the mailing envelope by the beginning of the next week. At its fastest, it can take just three days, but delays due to holidays or mailing issues might extend it to two weeks. While waiting for the certificate, it's advisable not to stay idle—review traffic rules or download some driving apps to familiarize yourself with road conditions. Once received, immediately check that the name and date are correct. If there are any issues, quickly contact the driving school for a replacement. Don’t assume you can drive just because you passed the test; you must have the physical card in hand before safely hitting the road to avoid penalties for illegal driving.
