How to Apply for a Driving License Refund?

[StAngelina]

Visit the driving school where you registered to process the refund. The refund standards are as follows: 1. Failed medical examination: If you did not attend or failed the medical examination after registration and request a withdrawal, the service fee will be deducted. 2. Did not apply for the exam: If you passed the medical examination and obtained the driving school student status but did not apply for the exam scheduling and request a withdrawal, the file setup and service fees will be deducted. 3. Did not take the subject one exam: If you have applied for the subject one exam scheduling at the driving management office and attended the theoretical training organized by the driving school but did not take the subject one exam and request a withdrawal, the file setup, service fees, and theoretical training fees will be deducted. 4. Failed subject one exam: If you failed the subject one exam and request a withdrawal, the file setup, service fees, and theoretical training fees will be deducted. 5. After on-car training: If you passed the subject one exam and request a withdrawal after on-car training, in addition to the file setup, service fees, and theoretical training fees, the actual on-car training fees will be deducted based on the training hours (calculated according to the IC card timing).

I once had to apply for a driving license refund due to a job transfer, and the process went relatively smoothly. The driving school I enrolled in required me to first fill out a refund application form at the front desk, bringing my ID card and the original payment receipt. After their review, they deducted the cost of the classes I had already taken and refunded about 70% of the money, explaining that the remaining amount included service and administrative fees. It took half a month for the refund to be processed, and during that time, I took photos and kept copies of all the documents as backups. I recommend you handle this as soon as possible—contact the driving school immediately after withdrawing, as having all the necessary documents ready can speed up the process. Check the refund ratio in your contract, as it varies significantly between driving schools—some offer full refunds while others only refund half. Don’t wait until just before the exam to apply, as the deductions will be higher. Acting early can save you a lot of trouble.

Let me draw an analogy - getting a driving license refund is as straightforward as returning an online purchase. Contact the driving school's front desk or customer service, explain your situation, and request to fill out a formal refund application form. Prepare copies of your ID card and registration receipt for submission—they'll calculate and deduct fees for consumed lessons. Typically, the refund is processed via bank transfer within one to two weeks; keep the receipt handy in case of discrepancies. From my experience, carefully reviewing contract terms helps avoid hidden charges—some schools refund most fees if you withdraw early. If encountering delays, refer to consumer protection laws for support, though most driving schools follow standardized procedures without major issues. Always verify the refund amount upon receipt to prevent disputes.

Refunds mainly depend on fee deductions, don't lose money. Before enrolling in a driving school, I closely examined the contract's refund ratio, such as only getting 60% back after one lesson. When applying, bring your ID and receipt to fill out the form. After review, they usually deduct service fees and the cost of lessons taken. Refund early to minimize losses; delaying might result in no refund at all. Keep document copies to prevent disputes, and verify that deductions are reasonable to avoid overcharging. When choosing a driving school, check reviews and look for refund-friendly policies to save both hassle and money.
