Is your test on the right date?

Months to wait for a date you are ready for, or a date that comes before you are? A swap with a learner who wants the opposite moves both of you, and DVSA does it over the phone. Tell us where your test is and which way you want to move, and we email you when a learner who could swap with you joins. Your email is never shown to anyone.

When would you rather have it?

One email to confirm, no password, and one click takes you off the list. How we handle your details.

No test booked yet? There is nothing to swap until you have one. Book on GOV.UK, then come back.
