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