Confirm your pre-booking

Once you select a slot:

Record the booking reference number

The online booking is generally a pre-booking. It is not fully secured until the required confirmation payment is made.

Pay the booking fee at the selected centre

For online test bookings, you generally need to visit the Driving Licence Testing Centre where you made the booking and pay the applicable fee within the required period.

Government guidance indicates that the booking must be confirmed by payment. Historical NaTIS guidance mentioned three days. Confirm the current deadline and fee with the selected centre, as procedures can vary. If payment is not made in time, the slot may be released.

Attend the appointment

Take the required documents, which may include:

ID document
Booking confirmation or receipt
Proof of address
Required photographs
Learner’s licence, if booking the practical driving test
Any other documents requested by the centre

For a learner’s licence test, official government process confirms that applicants must bring their ID, photographs, proof of address and booking fee, and complete the relevant application form. Keep your booking receipt safe — it is your proof of appointment.
