🚨 Important Update for Learner Drivers & Parents 🚨
The DVSA has issued a reminder about unofficial driving test booking apps, websites and social media scams.
Since May 2026, only learner drivers are allowed to book, change, swap or cancel their own driving tests. To help make the system fairer for everyone, learners must:
âś… Only use GOV.UK to book and manage driving tests
âś… Keep their booking details private
âś… Ignore offers from people on social media claiming they can find earlier test dates
Please DO NOT:
❌ Use unofficial apps or websites that search for test slots
❌ Give your driving licence details to anyone else to book a test for you
❌ Purchase test bookings or cancellations through social media
The DVSA has confirmed that if learners are found using unofficial services, they may:
⚠️ Lose access to online test management
⚠️ Have to make future changes by phone only
⚠️ Have their driving test cancelled
Scammers continue to target learner drivers, so please be careful. The safest, most secure and completely free way to manage your driving test is through GOV.UK.
If you’re one of our pupils and you’re unsure about anything to do with booking or managing your test, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
