Under Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid19, effective from midnight on Wednesday 21 October, for six weeks, the Government has classified some Road Safety Authority (RSA) services as essential services.

The Driver Testing Service, the National Driver Licence Service, the National Car Testing Service and the Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Testing Service have all been recognized as essential services, with certain limitations taking account of the wider public health requirements. Further information can be found on the website of the Road Safety Authority, which is the body responsible for these services.

The Government has not classified the Driver Theory Test (DTT) as an essential service, the provision of the service has therefore been suspended in light of Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions.

Where services are continuing, customers can be assured that they are being delivered in line withGovernment policy and health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID 19.
