Are you familiar with the new rules for car driving test bookings? 🤔

📅 Test changes are now limited to 2 per booking.

🔄️ Only learners can book, change or cancel their own test.

📍 Test moves are limited to one of the 3 nearest centres.

By introducing these new rules, we’re aiming to reduce the reselling of tests, create a level playing field for all learner drivers and give them more control over their learning to drive journey. 💪

UPDATE FROM DVSA

We’re reminding learner drivers about unofficial apps and scams
As you know, since 12 May 2026, only learner drivers have been allowed to book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.

The new terms and conditions for the booking service mean that learner drivers are not allowed to:

use unofficial apps, websites or services that scan the driving test booking service looking for appointments
give someone else their details so they can book a car driving test for them
We’re reminding learner drivers
We’re emailing learner drivers to remind them to stop using any apps or tools that search for driving tests for them. They must only use GOV.UK to manage their booking.

We’re reminding them that if they use an app or tool that searches for driving tests, we will:

suspend their ability to manage their test online – they will then only be able to make changes or book a new test by phone
cancel their booking
Our top priority is making the system fairer for all learners.

We are continuously monitoring activity and where misuse is clearly identified – including cases where a learner has not legitimately booked their test or where our terms and conditions are breached – we will take appropriate action, up to and including cancellation of the test.

We’re also reminding learners about the dangers of trying to book or get an earlier test through anyone on social media.

Help us get the message to your pupils
Please remind your pupils of 3 simple things:

do not use unofficial apps or websites to find or book a test slot
do not book a test through anyone on social media
only ever use GOV.UK – it is free and secure
We’ve published guidance for your pupils about this.

Find out more about the risks of unofficial driving test booking services and social media scams.

Thank you for your continued support in helping to make the system fairer for every learner.

Import news guys

🚨From 9 June, learner drivers will only be able to move their driving test to nearby test centres.

If you book a new test from this date, you will only be able to move your test to:

✅ any of the 3 centres nearest to where your test is booked

✅ the test centre you first booked at on that current booking

If you have an existing booking, the new rule will apply to where your test is booked at on 9 June – not where you first booked.
