How much is the car theory test in Northern Ireland?
The current Northern Ireland car theory test fee is £23 when you book directly with DVA.
DVA states that when you book direct you pay only the test fee and there is no extra administration or booking charge.
Booking directly through DVA avoids third-party booking charges. The £23 figure is the official car theory-test fee, not the price of preparation apps, lessons or revision materials.
Northern Ireland theory tests, practical driving tests and candidate requirements are administered by the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA), so current DVA/nidirect guidance should be used for bookings, documents, fees and test-day rules.
