What To Bring
When you take your Practical Test you must bring along:
your provisional driving licence
your Theory Test Pass Certificate
If you have an older-style paper provisional licence you will need to bring some acceptable proof of identity that bears your name, photograph and signature (like your passport, which does not have to be a British passport)
You can have the practical test in your instructor's car (see car hire section above) or in another car (for example your parents' or friend's car, provided it is insured to be driven by a learner driver)
If you are not driving in your instructor's car you must bring an insurance certificate. If you are not using a driving school car you must also display 'L' plates and have an extra rear view mirror fitted for the examiner
Please remember to arrive at the test centre 15 minutes prior your test time!
