Information and instructions on how to book online

When you've booked online you’ll need to complete the application process at a driver licensing agent before your new licence can be issued. You should allow about 30 minutes before or after your test to do this.

Check the agent opening hours, as they may not be open 30 minutes before your test appointment. In that case you can complete the application process before the day of the test or after the test.
