Driver theory test appointments are arranged by the driver theory testing service and not by my Department. The service may be contacted at LoCall number 1890 606106. Correspondence may be addressed to the Customer Service Manager at PO Box 144, Drogheda.
A key performance standard contained in the customer charter for the driver theory testing service is that tests are to be offered at centres undertaking more than 250 tests per annum within two weeks of a candidate's preferred date.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe waiting times for driving tests for all categories of vehicles are set out in the table below. My Department does not maintain separate waiting lists for different vehicle categories. My Department endeavours to arrange an early test for candidates who provide documentary evidence of the need for an urgent test.
