How to Cancel the Driving Test During the DMV Holiday?
2 Answers
You can cancel the test reservation before the scheduled test date, but you need to personally go to the vehicle management department to complete the relevant procedures. If you cancel before the reservation is processed and the online review has not been approved yet, you can apply for cancellation online by yourself. If the online review has already been approved, you need to go to the DMV one day before the scheduled time to cancel the reservation. To cancel the reservation at the DMV, you need to bring your valid ID card and a copy of it, and write "voluntary cancellation of the test" on the copy.
I once encountered the hassle of wanting to cancel a driving test during the DMV's holiday closure, but there are a few ways to handle it. First, try to check the DMV's holiday notice in advance—usually posted on their official website, especially for long holidays like Spring Festival or National Day. If your test falls on a holiday, look for an online cancellation portal on the website; some locations offer 24/7 self-service where you can log in and cancel directly. If the system is under maintenance or unresponsive at the time, don’t panic—just try again later or visit in person right after the holiday. Proactive planning is key: I always check holiday schedules when booking a test to avoid conflicts. As a last resort, call the local DMV’s main line. Even if no one answers during the holiday, leaving a voicemail or email works—they’ll follow up afterward. Remember, timely cancellation saves you the trouble of rescheduling and protects your driving test record.
