RESCHEDULING OR CANCELLING THE THEORY TEST

You are entitled to reschedule the theory test for an alternative date and time, or cancel the test to receive a full refund. Please allow for a minimum of three working days notice (including Saturdays) for either of these to be possible.

AFTER YOU HAVE BOOKED YOUR TEST

After you have completed your theory test booking, you’ll receive an e-mail from the DVSA. Check your junk mail in case you didn’t receive it. This e-mail will confirm the theory test date appointment and provide you with a reference number. Although not essential to take to the theory test centre, it’s advisable to print this e-mail to show to the centre staff if any problems arise.

ATTENDING THE THEORY TEST

Theory test centres take security seriously. Your provisional driving licence photocard must be taken with you to Southwark Theory Test Centre on the day of your test. If you retain the old style licence, a valid UK passport must be taken with your driving licence to provide adequate forms of identification. If you do not hold a passport, you will need to apply for a new driving licence which has the plastic card.

Failure to provide such items will prevent you from sitting the theory test and also lose the theory test fee. If you have misplaced your licence, contact the DVLA who will send you a replacement. See the learning to drive section for information on obtaining a new licence. Arrive at Southwark Theory Test Centre in good time as theory test centres have strict test slot times. Late arrivals that miss their allotted time slot will forfeit the theory test and lost the test booking fee.

They cancelled original test 3 weeks ago and was only told 20 minutes before so was already on the train there! - rescheduled for today but half the computers were down so had to wait 2 hours to take it, then half way through the test the computer froze, so having to start it again! Awful test centre!

Just cancelled a test because of "technical difficulties" - no apologies or help with rescheduling. Poor.
