Booking your car driving test

 

You will need to book your car driving test yourself on GOV.UK. Your driving instructor is not able to book it for you.

​

You should:

• only book at a test centre you intend to use - you will only be able to move your test to DVSA specified nearby centres

• only book when your driving instructor says you’re ready - speak to your driving instructor first

• choose a date you realistically expect to be ready by - you will only be allowed to make 2 changes to your appointment

• Ensure your instructor is available for your driving test before booking it!

​

Making changes to your car driving test

​

You are only be to to make 2 changes to your existing test booking.  You are only able to move your test to three specific test centres near to where you originally booked.

​

Only use your limited changes for genuine needs or emergencies.

 

What will count as changes

 

These things each count as a change:

• changing the date or time

• changing the test centre

• swapping your appointment with another learner driver who already has a test booked

 

If you need to make more changes

​

If you need to make more changes after you have used your 2 changes, you will have to cancel your test and book a new one.

You will get a full refund if you do it at least 10 full working days’ before the test date.
