Want to move your test to an earlier date? Here are all the official routes — and how a swap can get you a closer slot fast.
If your test date doesn't work — whether it's too far away, clashes with something important, or you want to find an earlier slot — there are several legitimate routes to move it.
Log in to your booking at gov.uk/change-driving-test. You can change to any available date without losing your fee, as long as you do it more than 3 clear working days before your current test. Within 3 working days, you forfeit your fee if you change or cancel.
If you have a test date but want an earlier slot, TestSwap matches you with someone who needs your date.
