How to Cancel the Driving Test During the DMV Holiday?

[VonJuliana]

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.

I've encountered this issue before and found it quite frustrating, but there are several solutions. First, try using the DMV's official app or WeChat mini-program – many regions now offer online platforms where you can directly click the 'cancel exam' function, which may remain operational during holidays. If the system is lagging, consider following their official social media accounts and sending a private message for assistance; staff might respond. As a last resort, visit the office in person early on the first morning after the holiday. Remember to bring your ID card and reservation proof just in case. Additionally, verifying holiday schedules in advance is crucial – I usually confirm dates one week before my test to minimize surprises. DMV systems can be unstable sometimes, so patience is key. Don't worry about delays; persistence will eventually get it sorted.

I have some experience with this and would like to share. You can't directly contact the DMV on holidays, the easiest way is to check the holiday schedule on their official website in advance and prepare for cancellation. I recommend checking the local DMV's online system, log in with your account to cancel the appointment, which is time-saving and secure. If that doesn't work, handle it immediately after the holiday, don't delay too long.
