How to Cancel a Driver's License File
2 Answers
You need to bring your original ID card in person to the vehicle management office's license hall to complete the cancellation procedures. Related information: 1. Notes: Changing driving schools requires withdrawing the file and reapplying. You need to cancel the exam first and then reapply for the exam. As a result, all passed subject scores will be invalidated. There is no time limit for reapplying after withdrawing the file. 2. Regulatory basis: According to Article 123 of the Ministry of Public Security, after passing the subject one exam for a motor vehicle driver's license, the vehicle management office will issue a driving skill test permit. The validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. Applicants must complete subject two and subject three exams within the validity period. If the exams are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated.
I've actually gone through the process of canceling my driver's license records once, as I decided to stop driving due to health reasons. The main procedure involves bringing your ID card and original driver's license to the local vehicle management office and filling out an application form. Nowadays, vehicle management offices have self-service machines or counters available. Remember to check the official website for office hours in advance to avoid a wasted trip. The whole process takes about half an hour, and once submitted, the records are permanently invalidated. If you want to drive again in the future, you'll need to retake the driving test. Key reminder: Make sure to clear all traffic violation records before canceling, otherwise it might get stuck. Also, never delegate this to someone else; you must go in person to protect your personal information from misuse. Thinking about life without driving in the future, actually taking the bus is quite convenient too, safety first after all.
