What is the process for transferring a driver's license exam to another location mid-way?
2 Answers
The process for transferring a driver's license exam to another location mid-way: 1. If the applicant has passed Subject 1, Subject 2, or Subject 3 in the original test location, they should personally apply to the vehicle management office in their current residence to change the exam location and continue with the remaining subjects; 2. If the applicant has registered in the original test location but has not yet passed Subject 1, they can re-register for the exam in their current residence. The original registration information system will be automatically canceled, and the re-registration will still be eligible for the policy allowing one exam location change; 3. After the application is accepted, the applicant should schedule the exam via the internet service platform. The total number of scheduling attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills exams in both the transfer-in and transfer-out locations must not exceed five times each; 4. After the applicant passes all subjects, the vehicle management office in the transfer-in location will issue the license and archive the records.
When I transferred jobs before, I went through this process and it was actually quite straightforward. First, apply for an outbound transfer at your local DMV where you initially registered, bringing your ID and driver's test proof—they'll issue a transfer file. The key is to use the "Intercity Test Scheduling" feature on the 12123 Traffic Management App to select your destination city. Nowadays, many places support electronic file transfers, eliminating the need to hand-carry paper documents. You'll get an SMS notification for the test time and location once scheduled. A heads-up: post-transfer, scheduling exams might be slower than locally, especially in big cities where test centers are often fully booked. It’s crucial to re-familiarize yourself with the layout differences for Subject 2 (parking skills) and Subject 3 (road test) routes at the new location.
