I already have a Philippine driver's license. Do I need to take a new driver's license to return to China?

Yesterday, the editor saw a private letter in a friend asked, he said holding a Philippine driver's license back to the country, need to re-take the domestic driver's license? In response to this question, EasyGo International felt it necessary to write a special article for everyone to explain, since the Philippines and mainland China are driving on the right, do you still need to re-apply for a Chinese driver's license?

If you have a Philippine driver's license, do you need to retake your driver's license when you return to China?

The answer is needed, but not exactly needed. It is not very complicated to convert a Philippine driver's license into a Chinese domestic driver's license. You only need to go to the local DMV in the country, pay 75 yuan for the transfer, pass the subject examination, and be familiar with the traffic rules of our country. Generally, you can get a domestic driver's license on the day after the examination.

With an international driver's license, can you drive directly in China?

The answer is no. International driver's license The United Nations is a United Nations road traffic convention formulated to facilitate international transportation exchanges. The Convention points out that when driving in a country that has signed an international road traffic convention, the governments of each contracting party authorize its traffic management department to issue a certification document to the holder of the national driver's license who travels abroad in accordance with the pattern stipulated in the Convention. The traffic management agency of other countries proves that the driver has a legal driving license issued by that country. This kind of license is called an international driver's license.

However, China has not acceded to this convention, so it holds a Philippine international driver's license and cannot drive directly in China.

In order to ensure everyone's travel safety, everyone must follow the local traffic rules, and the test must be tested. In this regard, if you have any other questions about the driving licenses of China and the Philippines and the purchase of houses in the Philippines, please contact EasyGo Easy Travel International. I wish you a happy life!
