Even
if you are already an experienced driver in your own country you
may have to take a UK driving test before the end of your
first year in the UK. It consists of a Theory and Practical test. Driving
Instruction - It is recommended that you go to an approved driving
instructor to learn how to pass the UK driving test, which is different
from learning to drive which you can already do. The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) has overall responsibility for the theory and practical driving tests. Click here for information on:
The 2pass.co.uk web site has useful links and information for anyone planning to take a UK driving test.
Once you have passed your driving test (theory and practical) you should exchange your test pass certificate for a full licence as soon as possible. Your instructor or the test examiner will usually be able to advise you. All of the following information, and more, is available from the Directgov website. The procedures are:- You can apply for your first full licence by completing the declaration section on your test pass certificate and send it together with your provisional licence and fee to DVLA. If you have a photocard driving license issued after March 2004 you have the option of having your full licence issued electronically which your test examiner can arrange for you. You should expect to receive your driving licence within about 3-4 weeks. If you already hold a full licence and have passed an additional driving test, complete the declaration section on your test pass certificate and send it together with your full licence and fee to DVLA. If you do not already hold a photocard driving licence you will need also to complete the D750 form given to you by the driving test examiner (also available from post offices). 3.6.3 - v2.0 |
