Arriving without the right documents ends your test before it starts. Use this checklist the night before.
Every year, hundreds of learners arrive at their driving test centre without the correct documents and forfeit their test fee. The checklist below takes 2 minutes to review the night before.
Mandatory: Your UK photocard driving licence. If your address on the licence doesn't match your current address, bring something showing your current address (recent utility bill). If your licence was issued before 1998 (paper-only), check with the DVSA — additional evidence may be needed. The examiner will check your licence before the test starts.
If you have a test date but want an earlier slot, TestSwap matches you with someone who needs your date.
