Book a test online

 

You’ll be put in a queue when you start booking your driving test - you’ll be told how long you’ll need to wait once you begin. This is faster than booking by phone because the phone lines are very busy at the moment.

You can book a test up to 24 weeks in the future. There is no waiting list or cancellation list.

This service is available from 6am to 11:40pm.

 

Before you start you need your:

 

UK driving licence number

credit or debit card

driving instructor’s personal reference number if you want to check they’re available

You can check the cost of your driving test before you start.

 

You must have lived in England, Wales or Scotland for at least 185 days in the last 12 months before the day you take your test.

There’s a different service to book your driving test in Northern Ireland.

 

You can check for earlier appointments after you’ve booked. These are sometimes called ‘cancellation appointments’.

 

Please take a look at the DVSA guide below so you know what to expect when doing your test.
