Things you need to know about changes to the driving test booking service

The driving test can be changed up to 6 times

We have reduced the number of times a driving test appointment can be changed from 10 to 6.

If you or your pupil changes the test more than 6 times, you will need to cancel it and rebook the test.

Short notice cancellations are changing

From Wednesday 22 June, we will no longer automatically rearrange or refund practical, or theory tests cancelled within the 3-day short notice cancellation window if your pupil tells us they have COVID-19.

This means that you or your pupils will lose your test fee if a test is cancelled within the short notice period unless your pupil:

  • is ill or injured
  • has been affected by a bereavement
  • needs to take an exam
  • has had their driving licence stolen

The full details about the change and how to apply for a refund were sent to you by email on June 7.

We’ll also be updating the guidance on GOV.UK.   

Who can use the book and manage your pupil’s driving test service

Only businesses who employ at least one ADI can register and access the service.
