Where to Pay the Driving Test Retake Fee?
2 Answers
Retake fees can be paid online in the self-service payment section. Here are the relevant details: 1. Different Subjects: The number of retake opportunities varies for different test subjects. Generally speaking, expensive tests have restrictions while cheaper ones do not. Subjects 2 and 3 each allow 5 retakes. If all retake opportunities are used up, previously passed subject scores will be invalidated, and you will have to re-register for the test. 2. Retake Count: Subjects 1 and 4 have no limit on retakes. However, after passing Subject 1, you must complete the remaining subjects within the 3-year validity period of your driving learning certificate. Otherwise, if the deadline is exceeded, previously passed subject scores will also be invalidated, and you will have to start over from the beginning.
Last time I failed my driver's license written test retake, I went to the driving school to ask the instructor about the payment procedure. The instructor said I could just pay at the front desk of the driving school office, as they have a dedicated window for this. This arrangement is common in most cities because driving schools are connected with the DMV's management system. Once payment is completed, the next exam can be automatically scheduled. If you didn't register through a driving school, you'll need to visit the payment office at the local DMV in person. Remember to bring your ID card and the original exam slip. Payment methods usually include cash, Alipay, or WeChat Pay. A friendly reminder: the fee shouldn't be too high, typically ranging from tens to about a hundred yuan. After payment, be sure to keep the receipt as proof for future reference in case of any issues. It's best to call ahead to confirm the opening hours to avoid a wasted trip.
