Q: How to get a chinese driving license
Hi guys 
. Thanks for reading this question. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get a Chinese Driving License? I've heard that agents can convert our local (UK in my case) license into a Chinese one. Does anyone know any good agents for this, or the process otherwise. Thanks

Hello,
I just got mine. Here are the things you need:
Valid visa with a stay over three months.
Temporary registration at your local police station.
Original license translated to Chinese. In Beijing they allow you to translate it yourself.
Photos. Tell them you are getting drivers license and they will give you the right ones.
Health test. Go to a hospital and tell them you need a health test for drivers license. Costs 10rmb. They will use one of the photos there.
Fill in the application and take it to the bureau of traffic affairs. You can also fill it out there. Make sure to have everything with you. You will set up your appointment then to take the test. You may need to wait one week. It's 50rmb to take the test.
Study well. There is an app for the iPad called Driving in China. It covers all possible questions.
If if you pass it will be 10rmb to make the license and the. 10rmb to send it. All in all you will probably pay less than 100rmb.
There are few old threads on 'Chinese driver's license'. See search above.
Do you have a resident permit?
If yes then you don't need an agent! Though you will need some Chinese help with the forms. It will cost you about 500.
As icnif states. The answers are on this website. You'll also find the details by searching on Bing, Goog, etc.
If no RP....then it will cost you 6-7000! Plenty of agents with websites.

there is even a link to practice tests
