Theory Test

Car Theory Test

How do you book the DVSA car theory test?

Quick answer

You book the DVSA car theory test online at gov.uk -- the only official booking service. You need your GB provisional (or full) driving licence number. Choose a test centre near you, select a date and time, and pay the £23 fee.

Book at gov.uk

Go to gov.uk and search for "book your theory test". You will need your provisional driving licence number and a debit or credit card. Choose a test centre, select an available date and time, and pay the booking fee. Keep your booking confirmation and reference number for the day.

Choose your test centre

DVSA theory test centres are in towns and cities across England, Scotland and Wales; pick one that is convenient and has availability. Your confirmation email will contain the exact address.

Get your details right

The name and details on your booking must match your licence. A mismatch can mean you are refused entry and lose the fee. Book only through gov.uk -- avoid third-party sites that charge extra -- then prepare with realistic mocks so the fee only has to be spent once.

This is general guidance from an independent study app, not official advice. Always confirm current requirements and fees on gov.uk.
