Can I only cancel a successful appointment at the DMV?

If you cancel the appointment before the deadline, that is, before the online review is approved, you can log in to the official website of [Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform] or the mobile app [Traffic Management 12123] to cancel the exam appointment. If the review has been approved or the exam appointment has been successfully scheduled, you need to go to the DMV to cancel before 12:00 noon the day before the exam date. Relevant information about the driver's license exam is as follows: The driver's exam is a qualification test organized by the DMV of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's exam can you obtain a driver's license and legally drive a motor vehicle. The content of the motor vehicle driver's exam is divided into the subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (also known as the "theoretical exam", referred to as "Subject One"), the subject of field driving skills (commonly known as "pole exam", referred to as "Subject Two"), and the subject of road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as "road exam", referred to as "Subject Three"). The exam content and passing standards are unified nationwide, with corresponding exam items specified according to different types of vehicles eligible for driving.

I'm familiar with this! Nowadays, most vehicle management services don't require an in-person visit to cancel. Last time, I scheduled a license plate replacement on the Traffic Management 12123 APP but had to cancel later due to unforeseen circumstances. I simply canceled it in the 'Service Appointment' section of the APP, and the whole process took less than a minute. However, it's important to note that you must cancel before the scheduled appointment time starts. If you exceed the time without going, it counts as a no-show. I heard that three no-shows will land you on a blacklist. Some cities also offer cancellation channels through official websites and phone calls, depending on local regulations, but there's really no need to make a special trip—it's that convenient.

Just helped my father-in-law with this last week. Since the elderly aren't familiar with smartphone operations, he directly called the 12345 government service hotline, got transferred to the DMV hotline, and it was sorted. The customer service verified his ID number and appointment code, and he received a cancellation confirmation text within two hours. Note that phone cancellations must be made during business hours, as calls may not be answered on weekends. Many cities now also offer cancellation via official WeChat public accounts—just look for the 'Service Processing' section in the menu. If all online channels fail, then visiting in person would be the next step.

As someone who has dealt with the DMV for years, I recommend prioritizing online methods: open the reservation system on the local traffic police website, log in, and click 'Cancel' in 'My Orders'. It's important to note that there are limits on cancellations—in our area, you can cancel up to three times per month. Some cities also support operations on self-service kiosks; just bring your ID card to the neighborhood government service center. If you really can't manage the operation, you can ask a friend to cancel for you using their account—the system only recognizes the reservation number, not the operator.
