Common questions
Booking, test day and what comes after the pass.
No — the test is the same everywhere: the same question bank, the same hazard perception clips and the same pass marks. Kent's four centres are spread across the county, so pick whichever is easiest to reach and arrive 15 minutes early with your provisional licence.
Canterbury serves most of east Kent, while New Romney covers the Romney Marsh area and the south coast around Folkestone and Dungeness. Chatham is the closest centre for the Medway towns, and Royal Tunbridge Wells covers west Kent along the Sussex border.
Book only through the official GOV.UK theory test booking service. You choose the centre when you book, and you can move or cancel the appointment free of charge up to three working days beforehand.
Yes — passing the theory test is what unlocks booking the practical, and Kent has its own network of driving test centres. Each theory centre listing below points to its nearest practical centre with the live pass rate, so you can plan both stages together.
