Can I withdraw from driving school directly at the vehicle management office?

Withdrawal from driving school cannot be processed at the vehicle management office; you need to go to the driving school to complete the withdrawal procedures. The following are the relevant details about withdrawing from driver's license application: 1. Personal application: If the applicant voluntarily gives up applying for a driver's license or is unable to complete the tests within the specified period due to long-term illness, military service, imprisonment, etc., the applicant should go to the local vehicle management office, fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Withdrawal Application Form", and submit the original and a copy of their ID card. 2. Withdrawal due to legal reasons: The vehicle management office uses the test backlog clearing analysis and judgment system to count the data of expired test permits daily and withdraws them in a timely manner according to the serial numbers. If it is found during work that the applicant has passed away, already obtained a driver's license, or their ID number has been cancelled, the accepting staff at the vehicle management office's business window will fill out the "Application Form" and report it to the responsible business supervisor for review before processing the withdrawal.
Last time I helped a friend with withdrawing from a driving school, you really can't just go directly to the vehicle management office. The vehicle management office only handles exam procedures and driver's license file transfers. Refunds are a contractual matter between you and the driving school. The correct process is to first ask the driving school's front desk for a withdrawal application form, fill it out, submit it, and wait for their review. If you've already taken the subject one exam and your records are filed at the vehicle management office, the driving school needs to help you cancel the file there. Before withdrawing, it's advisable to review the contract you initially signed, as it will outline the fee deduction standards. Remember to collect the receipt and sign a refund agreement—it's best to record the entire process as evidence, as many driving schools delay refunds. If negotiations fail, directly call the 12328 transportation service supervision hotline to file a complaint.
The key to withdrawing from a driving school lies in the contract terms. When my cousin withdrew last year, 30% was deducted because the contract stated that the theoretical training fees already incurred would not be refunded. The Vehicle Management Office indeed does not handle refund applications—they are a government entity responsible only for supervising the examination process. You need to bring your ID card to the driving school to fill out a withdrawal form, paying special attention to the clauses regarding breach penalties in the contract. Some unscrupulous driving schools may additionally charge management fees; in such cases, you can file a complaint with the local Transportation Bureau's Driving Training Department. If you're worried that your records haven't been canceled and might affect future enrollment, ask the driving school to provide a written confirmation. If negotiations fail, you can resort to legal action—small claims lawsuits cost just a few dozen yuan in fees.
