The driving test · When
When can I take the practical test?
Choose your region and your track, then enter your dates. You see from when you can take the test, and what you must not let expire.
This calculator applies the minimum periods written on the official websites. The test centre checks your documents on the day of the test: if in doubt, ask them.
