Availability 20th August 2026

Test booking system reopens tomorrow - advice on using the updated system issued by DVSA

DVSA will reopen the driving test booking service tomorrow, Wednesday 26 August, at 8am.

Driving Tests will be available to book in England and Wales but will be limited, with only 35,675 tests available to book for the next six weeks. This is until the next set of tests are released on 1 September, so a rolling 6-week period is available.

Changes to the booking service

Due to high demand, and to stop the booking platform falling over again, the agency has introduced a queuing system to control the flow of bookings, meaning when you or a pupil logs in, you will not have access to the system straight away.

You will be held in a queue and given a queue number. DVSA will then update gov.uk and their social media with information on driving test availability.

It is possible that you will be held in the queue for some time and users are advised not to try to access the system using multiple devices.

Making sure your pupils are prepared

On reopening the booking system tomorrow, only 35,675 driving tests will be available, until the next set of tests are released on 1 September.
