Is it mandatory for the individual to personally cancel the scheduled driving test at the DMV?

It is indeed required for the individual to personally visit the DMV to cancel the appointment. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": Article 43: If an applicant is unable to attend the scheduled test, they must apply to cancel the appointment at least one day in advance. Failure to attend the test as scheduled will result in the test being marked as a failure. Article 44: Each subject test can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not attended or is failed again, the test process is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, for Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests, the rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. Additional information is as follows: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": Article 35: The passing standards for each subject test are: 1. Subject 1 test has a full score of 100, and a score of 90 or above is considered passing; 2. Subject 2 test has a full score of 100, and for large buses, trailers, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is considered passing, while for other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is considered passing; 3. Subject 3 road driving skills and safe civilized driving common sense tests each have a full score of 100, and a score of 90 or above in each is considered passing.
Last time my friend canceled their driving test appointment, they specifically asked the DMV about this issue. Actually, canceling an appointment doesn’t necessarily require the person themselves to go in person. Nowadays, many places have opened online processing channels, and you can log in to the Traffic Management 12123 APP to cancel the appointment yourself without having to make a special trip to the DMV. However, if you need to handle it on-site, it’s best for the person themselves to bring their ID card to the counter for processing, as it involves personal information verification. In special circumstances where you really can’t go, some DMVs also accept proxy handling—just remember to prepare a formal letter of authorization and bring the original ID cards of both yourself and the proxy. It’s recommended to call ahead and ask about the specific requirements in your local area to avoid making a wasted trip.
