Prepare for a practical test at Worthing

This location publishes practical provision for the practical-test categories shown in your booking confirmation. Requirements differ substantially between motorcycle, vocational, instructor, trailer, and other specialist tests, so use the exact category on your booking as the source of truth.

Before test day

Confirm the reporting point

The published address is DVSA Art Room, Field Place, The Boulevard, Worthing, BN13 1NP. Check the appointment confirmation for the reporting point, arrival time, vehicle area, and any category-specific access instructions before travelling.

Do not infer a car-test reception or candidate parking from the address alone. Specialist tests may start from a different part of the site.

Four checks before the appointment

Use the official guidance for your booked category; a requirement for one vehicle or assessment may not apply to another.

Match the category

Check that the licence entitlement, theory or module prerequisites, and appointment category all match the test you intend to take.

Check the test vehicle

Confirm the vehicle, equipment, insurance, load, display, and examiner-access rules for the specific test category before leaving.

Gather original documents

Follow the booking confirmation and official category guidance. Missing evidence can stop the assessment even when the vehicle is suitable.

Practise the assessed skills

Prepare the manoeuvres, road work, safety checks, or demonstrations listed for your category rather than relying on car-test advice.
