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.
