Can the Subject Four Exam Be Scheduled in a Different Location?
2 Answers
Subject Four can be taken in a different location. Here are the relevant details: Application Location: You can directly apply to change the exam location at the vehicle management office in your current place of residence, without needing to return to the original exam location. The exam location can be changed once. Application Process: Mainland residents can directly apply for a change of exam location with their resident ID card, while residents of Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan can use their residence permits. For other individuals and circumstances, the required identification documents must comply with the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses." Exam Process: After changing the exam location, the applicant can directly schedule the remaining exams at their current place of residence, and previously passed exam subjects remain valid. Once all subjects are passed, the driver's license can be obtained directly at the current exam location.
I've helped my neighbor's kid with this issue before. It is indeed possible to schedule the Subject 4 exam in a different location, but there are some twists and turns to watch out for. When you operate on the Traffic Management 12123 APP, clicking on 'Exam Appointment' will show you a list of test centers across the province, with no restrictions based on household registration. However, the prerequisite is that you must have your Subject 3 score sheet in hand, and your file must still be locked at the original DMV where you registered. For example, my neighbor took Subject 3 in Xiamen and then returned to their hometown in Quanzhou to take Subject 4 directly there. A special reminder: the score sheet is valid for three years—make sure it doesn’t expire. If you take the exam in a different location, you’ll need to redo the medical checkup and photo, so remember to bring your ID card and the document folder given by your original driving school. When signing after the exam, double-check the transfer address for your file to avoid having your license sent to the wrong city.
