Always book through the official GOV.UK website. Other sites may charge extra fees.
Step 1: Get Your Provisional Licence
You need a provisional licence before you can book your theory test or start lessons.
Step 2: Book Your Theory Test
You can take your theory test from your 17th birthday, or from your 16th birthday if you get, or have applied for, the enhanced rate of the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
Step 3: Book Your Practical Driving Test
You must pass your theory test first, and then pass your practical test within 2 years, or you will need to take the theory test again.
Booking rules: you must book and change your practical test yourself. Your driving instructor, family or a booking service cannot do it for you. You can change a car test up to 2 times, and after that you need to cancel and book again.
