The Driving Test

warning

Applying for your driving test

The national average waiting time for a driving test is currently 6.1 weeks. As a result of the current high demand for driving tests, it may not always be possible to accommodate test candidates who have requested the short notice option.  If you have selected this option, we will be in contact with you as soon as an appointment becomes available.

Driving test application requirements

You can apply for a driving test either online or by post.  Please note you cannot apply for your driving test by phone.

Before applying for your driving test online:

  • Verify that you are eligible to sit your test—6 month rule.
  • Make sure you have taken the mandatory lessons for certain motorcyclists (IBT) or car drivers (EDT).
  • Know your current, valid driver number. (This is the number quoted opposite 4(d) on your learner permit
  • Know your PPS number—this can be found on tax documents or your pay slip and it is often on correspondence from a social welfare or tax office.
  • You must have a valid debit or credit card (Visa and Mastercard are currently accepted).
  • If you are applying by post payments can be made by cheque, postal money order or bank draft.
