Common questions
Booking, test day and what comes after the pass.
The five centres are spread across the county: Penzance covers the far west, Truro the centre, Bodmin mid-Cornwall, Launceston the north-east near the Devon border, and the Isles of Scilly centre serves the islands. The test is identical everywhere, so pick whichever is easiest to reach.
Yes — the Isles of Scilly has its own DVSA theory test centre, so island residents don't need to travel to the mainland to sit the test. Check available dates through the official GOV.UK booking service, as smaller centres can offer fewer sessions than mainland locations.
No — you can book at any DVSA theory test centre in Great Britain. The test is the same at every centre, so most learners simply choose the one nearest to home, work or college. Bring your provisional licence on the day; without it you cannot sit the test or get a refund.
Two years from the date you pass. You must pass your practical driving test within that window, or you'll need to take and pass the theory test again before you can rebook a practical test.
