How Long Does It Take to Process a Driving Test Appointment?

After an applicant completes the online self-scheduling process, the vehicle management office will send a text message to the applicant within three to five days. Below is relevant information about the driving test: Application Requirements: After registering at a driving school, students cannot immediately schedule a test. The driving school must first submit the student's information to the vehicle management office for processing before they can schedule the Theory Test (Subject 1). Handling Appointment Errors: Before the test, carefully verify the test code. If you schedule the wrong test or encounter special circumstances preventing attendance, you must personally visit the vehicle management office lobby with valid identification to cancel the test appointment at least one day before the scheduled test date.
I recently booked my driving test, and it took about 3 to 5 business days for the application to be processed after submission. During that time, I kept checking my phone for notifications because the DMV needed to review my driving school documents and progress. If there were errors in my ID or training certificates, it could cause further delays. During peak periods like winter or summer vacations, the process might take up to a week due to high demand. Once processed, the system will notify you via SMS or app to select your exam date—just be patient. My advice is to prepare all documents in advance and upload them clearly to avoid resubmission. Generally, it only takes a few days, but if delayed, contact your driving school to check the status.
