Theory test accessibility

Support and reasonable adjustments for the NI theory test.

DVA provides support for candidates who have reading difficulties, disabilities or health conditions. Arrange support through the official booking process rather than waiting until test day.

Key information

Current Northern Ireland guidance, summarised clearly.

Support can include additional time where eligibility requirements are met.
Voiceover and other accessibility arrangements may be available depending on need.
Contact the official theory-test service when booking if you need an adjustment.

Ask before the appointment

The correct arrangement depends on your circumstances and evidence requirements. Use the DVA guidance and booking support so the test centre knows what is required in advance.

Practice in the format you will use

If you receive additional time or use audio support, practise calmly and focus on understanding the rule rather than rushing through question volume.
