Will Drug-Related Criminal Records Be Displayed When Registering for Driving School?

No, drug-related criminal records will not be displayed. Individuals with such records can only be identified through the public security network when applying for a driver's license. According to Chinese law, those who have used or injected drugs within the past three years, or have been released from compulsory drug rehabilitation for less than three years, or are still addicted to long-term use of dependent psychotropic substances, are not eligible to apply for a motor vehicle driver's license. The following situations disqualify an individual from applying for a motor vehicle driver's license: 1. Medical conditions: Individuals suffering from organic heart disease, epilepsy, Meniere's disease, vertigo, hysteria, paralysis agitans, mental illness, dementia, or neurological diseases affecting limb movement that hinder safe driving. 2. Drug use or injection: Individuals who have used or injected drugs within the past three years, or have been released from compulsory drug rehabilitation for less than three years, or are still addicted to long-term use of dependent psychotropic substances. 3. Drunk driving: Drivers involved in major traffic accidents due to drunk driving. 4. Uncompleted sentence: Drivers who have had their motor vehicle driver's license revoked for drunk driving or driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol within the past five years; drivers who have had their license revoked for drunk driving a commercial vehicle within the past ten years; or drivers who have had their license revoked for other reasons within the past two years.

Enrolling in a driving school itself does not directly reveal a drug-related criminal record, as driving schools are primarily institutions for training driving skills. The enrollment process usually only involves filling out a personal information form, submitting a copy of your ID card, and paying the tuition fee. However, during the subsequent driver's license application stage, the traffic management bureau will conduct a background check on the applicant through the system, including whether there is a drug record. If there is a drug-related criminal record, the applicant may be considered a high-risk driver, which could affect the approval outcome. I believe this is for public safety considerations, as drug use can lead to delayed reactions or poor judgment, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, it is important to truthfully fill out the health questionnaire during enrollment to avoid being rejected after completing the test and wasting all the effort. The entire process requires patience, starting with driving school training and then transitioning to the official review.

When my friend enrolled in driving school, I saw them fill out a form with a health section asking about drug history, but that wasn’t a real-time criminal record check. The driving school collects the information, archives it, and uploads it to the system. The real check for drug records happens when the traffic bureau reviews the license application. They connect to the public security database, and if there’s a record, it will be flagged, resulting in no license issuance even if you pass the tests. My advice is not to hide anything during enrollment—honestly reporting health issues saves trouble later. After all, drug use affects concentration, and driving requires a clear mind. Stay updated on regulation changes and maintain healthy driving habits. Don’t stress too much about the enrollment process; the key is the later review stage.

Drug use poses significant risks to driving safety, as it can easily cause hallucinations or slow reactions, hence strict controls are imposed during driver's license applications. Drug-related records are not displayed when enrolling in a driving school, only hinted at in health questionnaires. The traffic authorities conduct thorough background checks during final reviews, and records may lead to application rejection or license revocation. It is advised to prioritize personal health and stay away from drugs for safe driving. Enrollment is just the first step, and subsequent details should be handled with caution.
