Documents you will need at your test
When you arrive at the test centre you will be expected to show both parts of your valid driving licence (the photocard and the paper counterpart).
You should also bring your appointment letter or booking number. If you don’t bring the correct documents with you on the day, you won’t be able to take your test and you will lose your fee.
From 1 November 2005 if you have an old-style paper licence you must take both your paper licence and a valid passport with you. The Driving Standards Agency will no longer accept any other form of photographic identification.
Remember:
- no licence
- no photo
- no test, and
- you will lose your fee!
You can find the address of the theory test centre by using the Find my nearest theory test centres

At the test centre
Once you have been registered at reception you will go through to the test room. You may not take anything into the room with you; all personal items must be stored in the lockers provided.
Once you are in the test room you may not talk to or distract other candidates. The computer screen will display your name and the category of test you are taking.
If you have any problems during the theory test, you should raise your hand to attract the attention of the test invigilator.
