Using waiting rooms and toilets in driving test centres

We previously let you know that the toilet facilities in test centres would only be available for candidates or instructors who are pregnant, or who have a medical condition or disability.

Following engagement with stakeholders we will be making toilet facilities available for any candidate, instructor or accompanying driver if requested, when coming for a test or using the motorcycle manoeuvring area (MMA). Anyone using the toilets will be escorted through the building.

People will need to clean the toilet facilities before and after using them themselves.

Waiting rooms in test centres will stay closed until further notice to help with social distancing.

Well done Gabe for passing your driving test today at Folkestone test centre, having to wear a mask you did really well. 🙂

Ok so at the moment we can only reach key workers that have a test booked, any other person or a key worker that wants to start we can not, it is vital we stick to government guidelines as we don’t want to spread the virus,

Keep calm we will get through this,

Kind regards

Paul Westlake

All theory tests rescheduled

All theory tests in England, Scotland and Wales from 22 June up to and including 3 July have been rescheduled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

We will update you with a start date for theory testing as soon as we are able.

What DVSA are doing

We are emailing anyone with a test booked from 22 June up to and including 3 July to let them know it has been rescheduled. 

If you’ve booked a test for your pupils

If you have booked a test for any of your pupils during these dates, you will need to contact them to let them know that their test has been rescheduled.

You can do this on GOV.UK. You will need your driving licence number to do this. You’ll get another email from Pearson Vue. You do not need to pay again to do this.

Emergency theory tests

An emergency theory testing service will still be available to those who have a critical need to take a test, such as NHS and social care workers.

Please do not call our customer service centre as they will not be able to help. Stay up to date on the latest information on GOV.UK.

We will be monitoring the situation and we will let you know if we need to cancel any more tests
