MESSAGE FROM THE 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 emailing learner drivers to remind them to stop using any apps or tools that search for driving tests for them. You must only use GOV.UK to manage your booking.

We’re reminding you not to use an app or tool that searches for driving tests, we will:

- suspend your ability to manage your test online – you will then only be able to make changes or book a new test by phone
- cancel you 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.

The latest changes affecting driving tests start on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, following on from amendments made earlier this year. They form part of major moves to tackle problems learners have faced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

The changes are aimed at restricting block-bookings being made by scammers and only apply to car driving tests in England, Scotland and Wales. They do not apply to other types of tests.

In March, rules changed meaning that learners could only change their test booking twice instead of the previous six times. Now, further rules are coming into play.

You will need to book your car driving test yourself on GOV.UK. Your driving instructor will not be allowed to book it for you. Before you book, speak to your driving instructor to agree that you’re ready to take the test; ask them for their driving instructor reference number - you can enter this when you book to make sure your instructor is available.

Only book at a test centre you intend to use, as you can only move your test to nearby centres. You should choose a date you realistically expect to be ready by, due to only being allowed to make two changes to your appointment.
