View answerThe RSA have set up a dedicated webform at https://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Learner-Drivers/The-Driving-Test/Request-an-urgent-driving-test/ to allow customers to assess whether they qualify for an urgent test appointment and if so, to submit an application for same.
If the applicant’s request is accepted, they will be placed on a short notice list and may be called for a test with as little as one days’ notice. While there is some capacity for urgent test slots, the Road Safety Authority (RSA)'s capacity to make these available in all cases will be limited.
