How to change your Birmingham test date to an earlier one

1. 1

   Register free — takes 2 minutes

   Create your TestSwap account and enter your current Birmingham DVSA booking details. No card required.

2. 2

   Set your preferred date range

   Tell us what dates you'd prefer. Our engine scans for a Birmingham learner who already has one of those dates and would prefer yours.

3. 3

   Get your match notification

   We notify you the moment a match is found. You review the date and confirm — no pressure, no time limit to decide.

4. 4

   Both call DVLA to complete

   Each learner calls DVLA on 03002001122 with the other's booking reference. DVLA staff complete the transfer directly — around 15 minutes each.

How to change your Birmingham driving test date through DVSA

If you need to move to a later date or cancel entirely, here's the DVSA process:

1. 1

   Log in to DVSA

   Go to gov.uk and sign in with your driving test booking details (driving licence number and booking reference).

2. 2

   Select "Change date"

   Choose the option to change your test date. DVSA will show you the next available slots at your chosen centre — in most cities this means a wait of several more weeks.

3. 3

   Choose a new slot

   Select an available slot and confirm. Note: in Birmingham new slots are currently 12–18 weeks away — if you want an earlier date, TestSwap is the better option.

4. 4

   Give 3 clear working days' notice

   DVSA requires at least 3 clear working days' notice to change or cancel without losing your test fee. Changes within that window may incur a fee.
