Booking your car driving test

From later in spring 2026, you will need to book your car driving test yourself on GOV.UK. Your driving instructor will not be able to book it for you.

You should:

only book at a test centre you intend to use - you will only be able to move your test to nearby centres
only book when your driving instructor says you’re ready - speak to your driving instructor first
use your driving instructor’s reference number when you book - this will make sure your instructor does not get double-booked
choose a date you realistically expect to be ready by - you will only be allowed to make 2 changes to your appointment
