Omagh theory test centre guide

Northern Ireland theory tests are run by DVA. Prepare both the multiple-choice and hazard-perception parts, and use the Northern Ireland document rules rather than a Great Britain checklist.

Before test day

Arrive 15 minutes before the appointment

The published address is Ground Floor, Dergmoney House, 41a Dublin Road, Omagh, BT78 1HE. nidirect advises arriving 15 minutes early. Staff check your name and licence documents before the security check and test-room admission.

Personal belongings are stored in a locker and mobile phones must be switched off. Late arrival or missing documents can cost the test fee.

Prepare for the DVA test

The standard car test has two parts taken in the same appointment. You must pass both to receive a certificate.

Bring both licence parts

DVA requires both parts of a valid, signed Northern Ireland driving licence: the photocard and paper counterpart. Other licence situations have additional identity rules.

Multiple-choice questions

For the standard car test, answer 50 questions in 57 minutes and score at least 43. The session starts with instructions and an optional practice.

Hazard perception

Respond when hazards begin to develop. The car and motorcycle pass mark is 44 out of 75, and patterned or continuous clicking can score zero for a clip.

Arrange support early

DVA can provide support for reading difficulties, disabilities, and health conditions when the requirements are explained during booking.
