How to Apply for Taking the Subject 2 Driving Test in a Different Location?

Directly apply for changing the test location at the local vehicle management office of your current residence, without needing to return to the original test location. The test location can be changed once. Mainland residents can directly handle the test location change with their resident ID cards, while residents from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan can use their residence permits. Other individuals and situations require submitting identity documents as per the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses". After processing the test location change, applicants can directly schedule the remaining subject tests at their current residence, with previously passed subjects remaining valid.

I moved to a new city for work last year and had originally signed up for the driving test (Subject 2) in my hometown. In a hurry, I used the Traffic Management 12123 APP to apply for an off-site exam. After logging into my account, I clicked on the exam service, selected off-site scheduling, filled out the form, and uploaded photos of both sides of my ID card along with a white-background photo. Remember to check the correct reason for the address change. After waiting two days for approval, I chose a test center and time in the new city—I picked a weekend morning. The day before, I took a taxi to scout the location and familiarize myself with the parking spots to avoid nervousness during the test. There’s no extra fee for off-site exams; the standard cost is the same nationwide, saving me travel expenses and time. It felt much more convenient, so I recommend friends in a similar situation to apply early and leave enough buffer time.

When applying for an out-of-town Subject 2 test, I directly used the online 12123 platform. After registering and binding my original test location information, I clicked the out-of-town change entry and filled in detailed personal information, including current residence or work proof. I uploaded a clear ID photo and waited for approval for about 2 days, then selected the test date and location. Just bring the original ID card to the exam, with no additional fees as it's included in the initial registration. The key is to ensure complete materials to avoid delays. I left a few extra days as a buffer during my application. There were minor differences in the out-of-town test site layout, so I practiced in advance to avoid surprises. Overall, the digital process is fast, and taking the test out-of-town is hassle-free and practical with no technical difficulties.

Applying for an off-site Subject 2 test is very simple. Use the Traffic Management 12123 APP or website, log in, click on the off-site test application, fill in your personal information and upload photos. Wait for the approval, then select the time and location for the test. Just prepare your ID documents and arrive on time for the exam. The standards for off-site tests are uniformly enforced, saving you the hassle of traveling back and forth. Apply early to avoid last-minute rush.
