How soon can I schedule an exam after changing the test location?

If you transfer your driver's license test to another location, you can generally schedule the exam in about 7 days. Below is an introduction to the four test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory exam, it's part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. 2. Subject 2: Commonly referred to as the small road test, it includes five exam items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. 3. Subject 3: Known as the big road test, it assesses road driving skills for motor vehicle drivers. 4. Subject 4: Also called the theoretical test or driver's theory exam (advanced level).
Hey, the other day I accompanied my friend to the DMV to transfer his driving test location. The staff mentioned that the key factor is the data transfer speed. Nowadays, the 12123 traffic management system processes requests quite quickly—electronic file transfers usually take just 1-3 days to complete. However, there are three crucial points to note: first, your original test site must confirm the transfer-out operation; second, the new test site’s system needs to successfully match the data; and third, the training hour records must be synchronized. My friend submitted his application on Tuesday and received a text message by Thursday, allowing him to schedule his Subject 2 test for the following week. My advice is to check the 12123 app twice daily after the transfer—once in the morning and once in the evening—and as soon as the new test site name appears, grab a test slot immediately, as popular test sites can be highly competitive!
Last time my cousin transferred his driving test from Zhengzhou to Wuhan, the whole process took five days. The main delay was that the original driving school dragged their feet until the third day to confirm the transfer. The vehicle management office said that as long as the original test site clicked the confirmation button, the new test site could activate the booking permission within two hours. However, pay attention to the training hours issue. He found that the simulated driving hours were not synchronized after transferring for Subject 3, and it took another two days to manually input the data. It's recommended to have the new driving school check the completeness of training hours immediately after a successful transfer, otherwise the system may block the booking. Now some cities support real-time synchronization, and the most accurate way to check the progress is to call 12123 and press 9 for manual service.
