Regarding your home country driving licence translation,
Can it be done by anyone, or does it need to be done some where official?
Did you need to take a photocopy of each side of your home country driving licence?

So, I have my living registration papers.
I have my "L" visa with more than 90 days.
I have my UK car and full big bike licence.
Looks like her will have to bring the 300 quai for me !!

Did you just register for the test, or did you do it there, at that time?

Pass ???

Gra.
The medical and the photos as well as the overseas DL translation are all handled by an official provider that will often be found in close proximity to the DL issuing police station, but being that this is China, TIC applies. Take all your documents, (DL, passport, PSB registration slip, marriage certificate etc and copies of all these just in case) with you to the applicable traffic PSB station which handles DL testing and issuing and they will direct to the other providers locations e.g. where you have to get your photos done, where the medical is completed etc. You most likely will find that you can do most of the procedural things on the same day if you start out first thing in the morning. Usually round these places there are a few people that can be hired for a fee to assist you with navigating the procedural aspects etc.

If you manage to get everything completed to the ACCEPTANCE of those in charge, you MIGHT be able to sit the computer generated 100 question test the same day, but this is at the discretion of those in charge of such procedural matters. Notwithstanding though that one should have already read and firmly committed to memory the MCQ test questions and answers. If one gets less than 94% (if I remember correctly) then that is a fail. Plus I think that there were several questions that much be answered correctly regardless and irrespective of the percentage. If one gets those answers wrong or less than the cut off percentage then the test has to be sat again, but at another time.

Again, the caveat here is that TIC and as with all things, your experience may differ. Good luck, cause I have a feeling you might very well need it.
