Can the Subject 4 Test Be Taken in a Different Location?

Subject 4 can be taken in a different location. The method to apply for taking Subject 4 in a different location is as follows: Simply bring your ID card to the local vehicle management office at your current residence to apply for a change of test location. There is no need to return to the original test location, nor is it necessary to submit additional documents such as residence permits or temporary residence permits. Additionally, the change of test location can only be done once. After the change, all remaining subject tests and the collection of the driver's license must be completed in the new city. After the test location is changed, the scores of the already passed subject tests remain valid. The examinee can schedule the remaining subject tests at their current residence. Once all subject tests are passed, the driver's license can be collected in the city of current residence.
I've been keeping an eye on the driver's license examination process, and now it's possible to freely choose the test location nationwide. For the fourth subject, which is the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, you no longer need to return to your original registration city to take it. According to the policy of the Ministry of Public Security, as long as you have a residence permit or temporary residence registration certificate in another location, you can make an appointment at the local vehicle management office. A friend of mine did just that—he took subjects one, two, and three in Beijing, and later, due to work relocation to Shenzhen, he directly registered for subject four at the Shenzhen Vehicle Management Office. The whole process was extremely smooth, requiring only an online appointment in advance and bringing his ID card and residence proof to the test center. The policy for taking exams in different locations is really convenient for those of us working away from home, saving both time and effort by eliminating the need to take special leave to return to our hometowns for the test.
