Here's exactly what DVSA allows — and how TestSwap makes it simple.
Yes, if you both want each other's dates. You each call DVSA on 0300 200 1122 simultaneously with the other's booking reference to change to their date. It's legal — DVSA doesn't prohibit it.
DVSA bookings can't be formally transferred to another person. But a mutual swap is possible — both learners call DVSA to change their own booking. The result is the same.
Don't need to find a friend with the right date. TestSwap finds a willing match from thousands of learners, handles the notification, and guides you both through the DVSA call.
If you already know who you want to swap with, here's the step-by-step.
You want their date and centre. They want yours. Both must be happy with the swap before calling.
Exchange your DVSA booking references (found on your booking confirmation email).
Both call DVSA on 0300 200 1122 at the same time. Give DVSA the other person's date/centre to change to.
DVSA sends a confirmation email. Check your new test date matches what was agreed.
The problem with the manual method: Both learners need to call at exactly the same time, or one person's date disappears into the pool before the other can grab it. If the calls are even a few minutes apart, it can fail.
No need to find a friend with the right date. TestSwap finds a match for you.
No card needed. Create your account in 2 minutes.
