After taking your required tests and having your photo made at a local office, the temporary driving certificate you receive is valid for how long?
-
A.
60 days Correct
-
B.
90 days
-
C.
30 days
-
D.
45 days
The answer is "60 days"
The temporary driving certificate is valid for 60 days, matching the window in which the new license arrives by mail. Drivers who pick 30 days are borrowing the deadline a new resident has to swap an out-of-state commercial license for a North Carolina one.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. 90 days
Substitutes a different window for the license-issuance one. Confuses the certificate window with a half-remembered 90-day grace figure carried over from another state.
C. 30 days
The temporary certificate runs for 60 days, not 30. Borrows the 30-day deadline a new resident has to swap an out-of-state commercial license for a North Carolina one.
D. 45 days
Splits the difference between two other windows the manual references. Averages the 30-day and 60-day figures the manual uses in other contexts.
