Theory tests to be suspended in England - DVSA

The Government has announced that England will be put under national restrictions from Thursday 5 November until Wednesday 2 December

We will continue to keep the situation under review in line with Government advice.

What this means for theory tests

These measures mean all theory tests in England will be suspended from 5 November and restart on Wednesday 2 December.

We are emailing everyone with a test booked in England to let them know their test has been put on hold and they will need to reschedule it.

If you have booked a test for any of your pupils you will receive an email to confirm their test has been put on hold. You will need to contact your pupil to let them know.

You or your pupil will need to log into the service and rearrange their theory test for a new time and date.

Driver and rider practical training and tests

Driver and rider training and tests will be suspended in England from 5 November until 2 December 2020. We will be contacting affected test candidates soon.

We'll keep you updated on the situation and provide further guidance when we're able too.
