Appointment slots are limited to those who have been invited to book a test
If you are already on the driving test waiting list, please do not log in to check for availability. Appointment slots are limited to those who have been invited to book a driving test and we will contact you directly when appointments become available.
If you have received an invitation to book a test, need to cancel a test, or wish to join the waiting list, please go ahead and sign up or log in to MyRoadSafety.ie.
Essential workers
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we can only offer driving test appointments to essential workers at this time and test appointments are solely by invitation.
If you are an essential worker who has already applied for a driving test and need it urgently, please complete this form.
If you are not an essential worker and have an upcoming appointment scheduled, please cancel your test. You can do this by logging in to MyRoadSafety.ie and selecting 'My Bookings' and 'Cancel Test'. Don't worry, you won't lose your fee. It will be saved as a service credit for you to book a future test. Please allow a few days for this to process.
We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time.

How to get your full driving licence after passing your test
Because of test backlogs, and the requirement to prioritise essential workers, fewer customers are being scheduled on a first come first served basis at this time. Because of this, average waiting times at test centre level do not show an accurate picture of how long a particular individual might be waiting for an appointment and therefore are not being published. We are conscious of the need to increase test capacity and work is ongoing to do this and get waiting times back to lower levels over a period of time.
