🚗 Learner drivers — important update about swapping driving tests

The DVSA has introduced new rules around swapping driving test bookings with another learner driver.

A test swap is not the same as changing your test date. It means you and another learner exchange your existing test slots.

Key things to know:

✅ From **12 May 2026**, only the learner can swap their own car driving test
❌ Driving instructors, websites or third parties cannot swap tests for you
📞 Swaps can only be done by phone through DVSA
🔁 A swap counts as **1 of your 2 allowed test changes**
📅 You must request the swap at least **10 full working days** before the earliest test
📍 From **9 June 2026**, location rules will also apply, meaning swaps will usually need to be with someone at the same test centre, one of your 3 nearest test centres, or the test centre you originally booked at

Before agreeing to a swap, please check with your instructor first. You need to make sure you are ready for the new date and that your instructor is available for the test centre, date and time.

Also, never share personal details like your driving licence number, address, phone number, email or card details with another learner.

We’ve put together this quick guide to help make the rules easier to understand 👇

If you are unsure, speak to your instructor before doing anything.

When booking your driving test, it is important to select the test centre where you intend to take your test. Doing so can help minimise waiting times at other centres and avoid the added stress of needing to change locations later.

Please be aware that from 9th June, there will be changes to the rules around modifying your test centre after a booking has been made. It is therefore essential to choose carefully, as you may otherwise need to cancel and rebook your test if your preferred centre is unavailable.

Additionally, I strongly recommend checking with your driving instructor to confirm that they cover the area of your chosen test centre. If they do not, you may need to arrange access to a suitable vehicle and a qualified supervising adult in order to take your test.

The link below highlights which test centres a booking can be moved to.

Please read carefully guys.

You may be able to swap your car driving test with another learner driver by phone if you both already have a test booked and want each other's test slot.
