Changes to book the driving test.

Booking tests for your pupils

We've made some changes on GOV.UK to make it easier to find the services to book tests for your pupils.

The ‘DVSA practical test business service’ page is now called ‘Book and manage driving and riding tests for your pupils’ on GOV.UK. There’s a new website address for it - www.gov.uk/book-pupil-driving-test. The old one will redirect you here automatically.  The service itself hasn't changed and still works in the same way.  Theory tests The address for the service to book theory tests for your pupils has also changed to www.gov.uk/book-pupil-theory-test. The old one will redirect automatically.  The service itself hasn't changed and still works in the same way.  Register to use these services You have to be registered to use these services. If you haven't registered to use these before, you can register online.
