Common questions
Booking, test day and what comes after the pass.
Hertfordshire has two DVSA theory test centres: Hertford, which serves the east of the county including Ware, Hoddesdon and Bishop's Stortford, and Watford, which covers the south-west including St Albans, Hemel Hempstead and Rickmansworth. The test itself is identical at both, so pick whichever is easier to reach.
Yes — you can book any theory test centre in Great Britain, not just one in your home county. Learners on the southern edge of Hertfordshire sometimes find a London centre such as North Finchley or Uxbridge quicker to reach than Hertford or Watford, so compare journeys before you book.
Book only through the official GOV.UK theory test booking service — third-party sites charge extra for the same slots. You can move or cancel a booking free of charge up to three working days before your test date.
Your theory test pass certificate is valid for two years, and you need its number to book a practical test. When you're ready, each centre listed below shows its nearest practical test centre and pass rate, or browse the Hertfordshire driving test centres page for the full picture.
