Common questions
Can I book a driving test on this number?
Yes, 0300 200 1122 handles bookings and changes, though booking online at gov.uk is usually quicker. Have 2 of these ready: your licence number, theory pass certificate number, or booking reference.
Is this the number to check an MOT history?
You do not need to phone for that. The free MOT history checker on gov.uk shows any vehicle's MOT record instantly. The 0300 123 9000 line is for problems with tests and testing stations.
