Can the driving test be transferred to another location three times?

[MacNicole]

After the implementation of the new regulations on June 2021, you can apply for the qualification to change the test location three times, and the passed scores remain valid. You need to bring your ID card and photos: Go to the local vehicle management office to complete the procedures for taking the subject four test in another location. Some places may require you to affiliate with a driving school or charge an additional fee for the transfer. Please consult the local vehicle management office for specific details. If the applicant has completed some subjects: Due to work, study, or other reasons that require a change of residence, you can apply once for the qualification to change the test location. You cannot change it back again, and subsequent tests and license collection will be conducted at the last confirmed residence location.

I remember when I was getting my driver's license, I also considered transferring the exam to another location. Generally, driver's license exams can be transferred to a different city, but there are limits on the number of transfers—usually only one or two attempts are allowed. Trying to transfer a third time is very difficult because policies restrict frequent location changes. A friend of mine attempted to apply for a third transfer, but the app automatically rejected it, and the DMV said it would disrupt exam management. It's best not to switch locations too often—choose a fixed driving school and complete the test in one go. Otherwise, each transfer requires resubmitting documents, waiting in line for approval, and extra costs and time. Transferring exams was meant to be a convenient feature, but abusing it defeats the purpose.

I've looked into the process of transferring driving license exams across locations multiple times. Each transfer requires applying and stating reasons on the 12123 App, but there's a strict limit on the number of transfers. Most regions allow only one or two transfers – attempting a third will likely be rejected by the system or manually to prevent candidates from maliciously avoiding exams. It's advisable to plan your exam location in advance to minimize changes. When applying, have your ID documents ready, as the approval process typically completes within a week. While transfers are convenient, excessive use can clutter your personal records and affect subsequent subject pass rates. To ensure smooth completion of your license, it's safer to limit transfers to one or two instances.

It's probably unrealistic to transfer your driver's license test location three times. The standard policy only allows one or two transfers of the test location, and exceeding this number is likely to be rejected. I once consulted with DMV staff, who emphasized that the limit on the number of transfers is for fairness and efficiency. Three transfers would increase management difficulties and have a low approval rate. Try not to attempt multiple location changes for the driver's license test to avoid wasting application fees and time. It's more convenient to stick with the initial city and complete the test there.

The process of transferring your driving test to another location is not difficult: Download the 12123 App, click on the test location change application, and fill in the reason. However, the number of transfers is limited, usually one or two times are okay, but a third time is almost impossible to approve. From my experience, I transferred once after passing the first subject test to take the second subject in another city, but my third application was directly rejected. It is recommended to decide the location early and not delay. Transfers require a passing record in the local area, otherwise, it's all for nothing. Transferring tests to another location is originally for emergency use, and multiple transfers increase the uncertainty of the test. It's better to practice driving solidly and pass it all at once.
