A pilot online driver theory test is underway for trucks and buses. Any customers wishing to sit a driver theory test in these vehicle categories can do so by visiting www.theorytest.ie.

The rollout of this option for customers undertaking car theory tests is planned to begin within this month, with up to 3000 online tests being conducted per month. There will be a limit on the number of customers that can avail of the service during the initial rollout phase, but work is ongoing to make online services more widely available towards the end of 2021.
