Theory Test Certificates

Theory test certificates on driving tests

In their email update on Monday (17 August) the DVSA asked to make sure pupils brought their theory test certificates to their driving test.
We wanted to confirm that pupils should still bring their theory test certificates if they have a paper version.
However if they can’t find it, they don’t need to order a replacement before coming to test.

Valid certificate

Pupils will still need to have a valid theory test certificate before booking and taking their test.
If they don’t have a valid theory test pass, they should not attempt to take their test. The driving test pass will not be valid and they will not be given a full licence.
