Claiming
a drive test pass
Once
you have passed your driving test (both your theory and practical are needed),
you should notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to exchange your
test pass certificate and provisional driving licence for a new full driving licence
as soon as possible. Beware
of the time limit!If
you do not claim your test pass within two years of the date of your test, the
driving entitlement, in which you took the test pass, will be lost. You will have
to take and pass both parts of the driving test again for that category of vehicle
if you wish to have it included on your driving licence. Adding
