If you need to retake your test
If the court told you that you must take another driving test before driving again, you’ll have to apply for a new provisional licence.
You can drive as soon as your ban is over and you’ve passed the tests you need to take.
How to get a new licence
- DVLA will send you a reminder 56 days before your disqualification ends – use this to apply for a new provisional driving licence. If you did not get a reminder, order an application form instead. Order form D1 for a car and motorbike licence or form D2 for a lorry and bus licence.
- Book and take a theory and practical test (or compulsory basic training and motorcycle practical test if you ride a motorcycle). Book and take an extended practical test if the court told you to take one. The extended practical test lasts at least 60 minutes and has higher fees.
- When you’ve passed the practical test, ask the examiner to arrange for your new licence to be sent to you – you can legally drive as soon as you’ve passed the practical test.
