You need to have passed your theory test before you can book your practical test

Before you book your practical test you need to have with you

... your provisional licence
... your theory test certificate
... the person who owns the credit/debit card you are using
... the Reference No. for your Driving Instructor

A few days after making your booking you should receive a confirmation letter. You should show this to your Instructor. If you need to cancel your practical test you need to give 10 clear working days notice or you will lose your fee. For more information about the Practical Test visit our On Your Test page.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - MAKE SURE YOU WILL BE READY FOR THE TEST!

Under the New Driver Act, if you get 6 points on your licence in the first two years, your licence will be revoked and you will revert to the status of being a provisional licence holder and will need to retake the Theory and Practical Tests.

There is also provision for the courts to require people who are disqualified to take an extended driving test. This is assessed at the same standard as the regular test but lasts approximately twice as long.

Maps to show where your nearest test centre is and also local test routes are available at the DSA website.
