What documents do I need at the theory test in Northern Ireland?
DVA requires the correct original driving licence documentation at the theory test. If your details changed after the booking, you also need original evidence of those changes.
Without the required documents, you may be refused the test and lose the fee.
The licence is used to confirm your identity and entitlement. Check the appointment instructions before leaving home, especially if your licence has recently changed or been replaced.
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.
