Check/Change Date of Practical Test

 

Verifying your driving test date

 

Once you have booked a practical driving test, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (D.V.S.A.) will send a confirmation e-mail to the address you provided when you booked the test.

 

However, with the many spam filters used, driving test confirmation e-mails can often be seen as junk or, at worst, get deleted.

 

The D.V.S.A. do, however, provide a service where you can check the UK driving test date to confirm that it is actually booked.

 

You are able to use this service to check the driving test date of your practical test between 6.00 am and 11.40 pm.

 

You will not be able to check a driving test date by contacting driving test centres directly. Only the D.V.S.A. have driving test booking details stored on their database.

 

Check driving test date and time online

 

To check driving test dates of both previous and future test bookings, you will need to provide some information. You will need to provide two of the following pieces of information:

 

• your valid Great Britain or Northern Ireland provisional driving licence number

• your application reference number

• your theory test pass certificate number

 

By filling out the D.V.S.A. "Change the date of your practical driving or riding test", you will be able to check your current driving test date and time without the need to change it.

 

In the event that you experience any problems with this online service, you may use alternative methods to contact the D.V.S.A. and check your driving test date and time.

 

Check driving test booking by phone

 

You may contact the D.V.S.A. by telephone to check a driving test date. Though this is an automated telephone service, a representative of the D.V.S.A. can be reached by listening to the available options.

 

Although the easiest way to check your driving test date is online, you may alternatively call the D.V.S.A. on 0300 200 1122. Opening times are from 8.00 am to 12.00 pm, Monday to Friday and long delays can be experienced on occasions.

 

You may also e-mail the D.V.S.A. It may take a few days before a response is made. Please include two of the three pieces of information listed above in your e-mail.
