UK DRIVING THEORY TEST HAZARD PERCEPTION DRIVER
If you are unsure if you need to take a theory test, contact the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA). It is your responsibility to make sure you have the right licence for the vehicle you are driving.

For example, if you have a full automatic car licence and you want a manual car licence you will not have to take a theory test. If, however, you want to upgrade within a vehicle category you will not normally need to take a theory test. For example, if you have a car licence and you want a motorcycle licence you will need to take a category specific theory test. You will need to take a theory test if you want a licence for a new category of vehicle. If you have a GB provisional licence and want to take a motorcycle, car, bus or lorry theory test here, before booking your test you will need to complete a residency declaration form and send it to DVA with proof you are resident in Northern Ireland. If you want to take a theory or practical driving test in Northern Ireland, it is a legal requirement that you must be normally resident in Northern Ireland. However, if you already have a full driving licence you may not have to take another theory test if you want to start driving a different vehicle. If you are a learner driver you must take and pass your theory test before you book your practical test. It is strongly recommended that you wear a face covering at your test.įor more information visit: Coronavirus (COVID-19): face coverings guidance When you do the theory test
