Can I Change Driving Schools After Registration?
2 Answers
It is possible to change driving schools after registration. The procedures for transferring between driving schools are as follows: The student needs to obtain a transfer certificate from the original driving school. Retrieve your personal file from the vehicle management office or the driving school. Finally, report to the new driving school with the file and the transfer certificate. Procedures for changing the location of the driving test: Applicants only need to present their resident ID card (for Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan residents, present the residence permit) directly to the vehicle management office in their current place of residence to apply for a change of test location. After the change is processed, applicants can directly schedule the remaining subjects for examination at their current place of residence, with previously passed subject scores remaining valid. After passing all subjects, the driver's license can be obtained directly at the current test location. Note: Students who withdraw after registration without taking the medical examination or who fail the medical examination will have service fees deducted. Students who pass the medical examination and have obtained driving school enrollment but withdraw before applying for the subject one examination will have file setup and service fees deducted. Students who request a refund after passing the optional subject examination but before the road test will not receive a tuition refund.
I remember I had just enrolled in a driving school when I had to move due to a job transfer. I was worried about whether I could continue my lessons elsewhere. I asked the front desk at my original driving school, and they said it was possible, but it would depend on the contract: checking if there was a transfer clause, usually requiring an application, paying a handling fee, and confirming acceptance by the new driving school. Later, I transferred to another school, paid a small fee, and had all my learning records transferred over. However, the progress didn’t sync, so I had to start adapting from scratch. I recommend contacting both driving schools early to check their cooperation mechanisms and avoid delaying exam schedules. Looking back, asking more questions upfront could save a lot of trouble, especially for those who move frequently.
