What you will need at the practical test centre

• an appropriately insured and licensed vehicle, displaying L-plates that is suitable for the purpose of the test
• the appropriate theory test pass certificate (or confirmation) if you are not exempt
• your appointment letter
• both parts of your photo card licence. If you do not take both parts of your licence your test will not take place and you will lose your fee. If you misplace your licence, you must apply for a replacement from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which could take up to 15 days. If this happens, you may have to re-arrange your test
• if you have an old style paper licence, from 1 November 2005 you must bring your paper licence and a valid passport.
