Booking Your Driving Test
You can obtain a driving test application form (DL26) from your driving instructor, any driving or theory test centre, or by telephoning the driving test enquiry line on 0870 0101 372, between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday
Welsh speakers can also book on 0870 0100 372. If you are deaf and need a minicom machine, telephone 0870 0106 372
If you are able to pay by credit or debit card you can book a driving test appointment direct on the same numbers without the need to complete an application form. You will however, need to quote your driver number from your provisional driving licence, your theory test pass certificate number and your driving school code if you are being trained by a professional driving instructor
Upon booking you will be given a booking number and sent an appointment card as confirmation within a few days
Cancelling a Test
You are required to give a minimum of ten clear working days notice of your decision to cancel or postpone your test; otherwise you will lose your test fee. If you are unwell on the day of the test and can get a doctor to verify this, the DSA will refund the test fee
Special Requirements
The DSA are required to make every effort to ensure that all candidates can take the driving test. However, it is important that you discuss your needs with them when booking the test. If you cannot speak English or are deaf you are allowed to bring an interpreter with you who must be at least 16 years of age and cannot be a driving instructor. If you are disabled you will receive the same test, however, more time will be allocated so that you can explain the nature of your disability and describe any special adaptations fitted to your vehicle
