At most Theory Test Centres, appointments are available for 09.00, 10.15, 11.30, 12.15, 14.15, 15.30, 16.45 and 18.00 on weekdays. Saturday morning appointments are also usually available for 09.00, 10.15 and 11.30. Appointment times do vary from centre to centre - this is only a guide.
Major centres will be open every day, more remote centres will not. You can check by telephoning 0300 200 1122 (Welsh Speakers 0300 200 1133 and Hearing Impaired customers 0300 200 1144) any time between 8.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday.

If you have a debit or credit card, the best way to book is by telephone (see telephone system below for numbers). You will also need your driver number (on your provisional driving licence), and a pen & paper to write down your booking reference number and other details. It is best to avoid telephoning on a Monday if possible, as the phone lines are at their busiest.

ON THE INTERNET

You can now book your test on the internet at ...www.dsa.gov.uk/tests/online_booking_1.asp

Click on the link above and choose the 'book a test' item in the Theory Test menu. The system will take you through the booking system step-by-step and then ask for payment. You can pay with most debit and credit cards.

BY POST

If you don't have a debit or credit card yourself, you could ask a friend, relative or your driving instructor to book the test for you using their card.

Failing that, you can obtain a postal application form from your local driving test centre or from your driving instructor, and pay by cheque or postal order. Booking this way means you will be allocated a test date and time which might not be convenient for you. However, once you have a booking, you can change it over the telephone.
