AFTER YOU HAVE BOOKED YOUR TEST
After payment of the theory test booking, the DVSA will send you an e-mail confirming the time, date, location and reference number. Although not essential to take to the theory test centre, it’s advisable to print this e-mail to show to the centre staff if any problems arise.
ATTENDING THE THEORY TEST
Security and fraud prevention is taken seriously at all theory test centres. Whilst attending the London Theory Test Centre, you must show the staff your provisional driving licence photocard, or if you have the old type, this must be taken along with a valid passport. If you have the old licence, but no passport, you must apply for a new driving licence.
If you are unable to show these forms of identification, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to take the test, also resulting in a loss of test fee. If you have misplaced your licence, contact the DVLA who will send you a replacement. See the learning to drive section for information on obtaining a new licence. Arrive at your chosen London Theory Test Centre in good time as theory test centres have strict test slot times. Late arrivals that miss their allotted time slot will forfeit the theory test and lost the test booking fee.
