Is the driver's license refund processed at the driving school or the vehicle management office?

The driver's license refund is processed at the driving school. Here are the key points to note: 1. Refund items: In principle, as long as a contract is signed at the time of enrollment, the training fee can be handled according to the contract, and any unused fees can be refunded. If exam fees, administrative fees, and training fees have been incurred, they will be deducted from the paid amount. The remaining balance will be refunded to the student, who can then apply to another training school. 2. Keep receipts: The vehicle management office also specifically reminds students to keep the original invoice and receipts from the time of enrollment, as losing them may complicate the refund process.
When I was learning to drive, I encountered a refund issue. Generally speaking, driving license refunds are processed at the driving school, not the DMV. Because I signed a contract when I paid the tuition to the driving school, the DMV is only responsible for exam arrangements, road tests, etc., and doesn’t take any money from me. I remember failing the second subject and wanting a partial refund, so I went straight to the driving school’s front desk. They asked for my ID and payment receipt, filled out a refund application, and processed it within a week. The whole process was quite simple and didn’t involve the DMV. But I’ve heard that in some places, if you drop out midway, they might deduct fees for the classes you’ve already taken, so I suggest everyone clarify the refund policy early. If the driving school drags its feet on the refund, you can consider seeking help from the consumer association—my neighbor successfully got a full refund this way last year. In short, don’t waste time queuing at the DMV; contact the driving school directly. Also, ask about the refund terms before enrolling in driving lessons to avoid surprises.
