In short, to change L visa to F visa, what we need include:
Two 2-inch photos, passport with valid L visa,
registration form of temporary residence (if you are not in BJ, no need to prepare the registration form)

If there is any question, please directly contact Kevin LU through the following ways:

In China, international

In China, international driving license CANNOT be used.
You have to obtain a Chinese driving license instead.

The processing procedure and documents required is as below:

International Driving Licence

The International Convention on Driving Licences was signed
in September 1949. China did not become a republic until 1st
October 1949. This is the main reason why an international
driving licence cannot be used in China.

However, if you are over 18 and have a valid driving licence
from another country then it is quite likely you will only basically
need to do a written (computerized) test to obtain a 6 year China
driving licence for a fairly minimal fee.

How To Apply For A China Driver's Licence

I'll outline what I did in Chengdu - January 2007. Of
course, you should go to the driver licensing centre
in the city which you are in.

No practical driving test is required if you are over 18
and have a valid foreign driver's license. Don't know
if an International License would count though.

* Take someone with you that can write Chinese
* Chengdu licensing centre opens around 8.30am
* Take plenty of passport pix (8 is a safe number)
* Take your foreign driving licence & passport
* Go to one of the reception counters
* Collect a standard application form
* Complete the form in Chinese script
* Have medical examination which consists of reading one or
two lines on an eye-chart with either eye covered alternately.
* Take the papers back to a reception counter
* Submit form with payment over counter
* Pay the prescribed fee

FEE: Y10 + Y280 = Y290 TOTAL

Y10 is for the actual 6 year China licence. The other Y280 is
to sit the written test TWICE in case you don't score 90% or
greater the first time. No partial refund if you pass first time.

* Wait in queue (seats provided) to enter exam room
* Show ticket / receipt etc & be shown to a computer
* Select which language you want to do the test in
* There are nine languages to choose from (including
English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese)

The test consists of 100 randomly selected questions from
the driving handbook which has about 700 questions in total.
They are mostly multiple choice or TRUE / FALSE.

Computerized test time limit: 45 minutes

* Hit the "check score" icon on computer
* 90% or over ( Hao! Hao!)
* Less than 90% :
Get a new number & do again within the next ten days.

* Once you pass, take your papers back to a counter for
processing. The license can be issued within ten minutes
or so, depending on their workload.

NOTES:

* Licenses are written & issued in Chinese script

* You can only apply for one class of license at any one
time. That is, if you also have a valid foreign motorcycle
license (costs Y190 ? in total) you have to do another
computerized test, which appears to be the same as the
car test anyway. I've never got around to getting back
so far this year for my own bike license.

* Most of the questions are common sense.
* BUT it is advisable to bone up on them first
* All going well, you'll be finished before noon.

GOOD LUCK !!!

Depends ....

There is no "how to apply for a license in China".
Whereever you are, you find different regulations. Some very easy and quick, others impossible. I stay in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. Allthough we have good relation with local police office, they asked us for residents permit and running regular driving school. No chance to shortcut. So some brave guys drive without. We others remain on taxi :-)

So ask local staying foreingers. if youre lucky, by 300 RMB and one day in public office youre done. If youre unlucky (as i am) travel to other city and apply there, give those money-eating agents what they ask from you or drive taxi.

asta la victoria siempre.

Updated news (April 9,

Updated news (April 9, 2008):
Residence Permits for study or Residence Permits for work can still be converted to F visas without your leaving China mainland.
But thanks to the Olympics, the F visas can only be valid until July 1, 2008 (Not full 3-month visas).

Of course, you need to provide some documents:
* Release letter from the company or
* Finishing study certificate from the university

The 6-month or 12-month F visas issued when you are in China mainland are temporarily not available.
