Driving Tests & Theory
Do I get my driving test result by email in Northern Ireland?
You can receive the result by email if you provide an email address and the test is recorded using the examiner's tablet system.
DVA examiners use tablets to record practical driving test assessments. Candidates who provide an email address can receive the result by email after the test where the digital process is used.
If you pass, the licence can also be issued automatically where appropriate.
The examiner explains the result at the end of the test, and the official result information can also be provided electronically. Keep any result details for your records.
