How to Exchange your foreign driver’s license
If you have a residency permit and a driver’s license from another country, you can get a Chinese driver’s license (valid for 6 years) just by passing a written exam. The process and the exam take place in the traffic police department in the city you live in and you may need a prior appointment.
A partner of ours had a Fortune 50 company with very specific requests for a flexible multi city service in China. Specifics none of the local DSPs could deliver on. We received the challenge, with no prior business in China, to create such a program.
We met the challenge and did so well that our partner used it for a client video case study that they produced. Please see video below.
