How to Change Driving Test Appointment in Absher Reschedule Step by Step
If you need to reschedule your driving test or training slot, Absher makes it possible without visiting an office. This guide covers the exact steps for Absher driving test reschedule, what you can change, and what to do if you cannot find available appointments.
In Saudi Arabia, driving training appointments are linked to approved driving schools under Traffic services, so the process happens inside the Absher platform.
What you can actually change in Absher
Absher allows citizens and residents to book or update driving training appointments at authorized driving schools through the Traffic section.
This is the appointment used for driving school training, evaluation, and the steps that lead to issuing your driving license after passing the required tests. If your goal is just changing the date or switching to a different available slot, you usually do not need to cancel everything manually. You manage it from the same appointment screen.
Before you reschedule your driving appointment
Make sure these basics are ready before you try updating anything.
- Your Absher account is active and verified
- You have your Iqama or National ID details available
- Your driving school file is already created if you have started training
- You are checking during working hours, because new slots often appear during the day
Also remember that appointment availability depends heavily on your city and the driving school’s schedule.

Common problems when changing driving appointments
No available slots
This is the most common issue, especially in Riyadh, Jeddah, and other large cities.
Try checking again early morning or later in the evening when cancellations open spaces.
Update option not showing
In some cases, Absher may only allow cancel and rebook instead of direct rescheduling.
If you do not see an Update button, cancel the current appointment and immediately search for a new one.
Driving school requirement mismatch
Some appointment types only appear once your driving school has marked you eligible for evaluation or test scheduling.
If your training stage is incomplete, Absher may block new bookings.
Absher technical errors

When you need to contact the driving school directly
Absher handles the appointment booking, but driving schools control training phases, attendance, and when you are ready for the next step.
If you are already enrolled and cannot move forward, the school may need to update your file before Absher shows new options.
