If you want to change or cancel your driver licence test, you may have to pay a fee. However, if you make the change or cancellation with enough notice, we can hold the test fee amount in ‘credit’ for you on the driver licensing system for when you re-book your test. If you do the cancel, change and/or re-booking online, you’ll pay nothing when you re-book your test.
