Why we exist
A better test date. A simpler way to find it.
MoveMyTest has one job: help two learners find a fair, compatible exchange so each can move to a test date and time that works better for them.
What we believe
These four principles help us stay focused on what matters: making test swaps simpler, safer and fairer for learners and instructors.
Free for learners, forever
No subscription, no success fee, no card needed. MoveMyTest is funded to keep the swap process open to every UK learner, not locked behind a paywall.
Privacy by default
Personal information is not shared across the matching network. DVSA booking references are encrypted and only made available when both learners explicitly agree to a swap. We do not sell learner data.
Built around the official process
We do not grab, hold or resell DVSA slots. We do not run booking automation. The official swap is always completed by you, the learner, by phone with DVSA.
Instructor-aware
Every match respects your driving instructor's availability and the DVSA's test-type and location rules, so a match is actually a match — not a no-show waiting to happen.
What MoveMyTest is built to do
Built around the learner's goal
MoveMyTest has one clear purpose: help a learner find a driving test date and time that suits them better, without paying for a test slot or exposing personal information.
Built for the 12 May 2026 DVSA rule change
From 12 May 2026, only learners can book, change, swap or cancel their own practical car driving test. MoveMyTest is designed for the new rules — we exist to handle the matching piece the DVSA does not cover, free and at scale.
How the swap works
The DVSA's 5 May 2026 guidance sets out exactly how two learners can swap directly. We do the matching, notification and consent work — DVSA does the official swap.
- 1
Create a free listing
Enter your current test date, time and centre, plus the dates and centres you would consider swapping to. We only ask for the minimum needed for matching — no licence number, no address, no card.
- 2
Wait for a compatible match
We check your listing against all other listings and apply the DVSA's test-type, location, change-availability and 10-working-day rules. You get notified by SMS and email the moment a match is found.
- 3
Review in a private match room
You and the other learner see a private match card with the exact swap details. Booking references are only shared after both sides accept. Sensitive data is never shared with the other learner.
- 4
Call DVSA together
One learner rings DVSA on 0300 200 1122. DVSA calls the other learner separately. DVSA runs security checks on both sides. The official swap is completed in that single call.
The DVSA phone number
For the official swap, call DVSA customer services on 0300 200 1122, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. MoveMyTest does not handle the swap itself — only DVSA can change your booking.
Trust and safety
MoveMyTest is built around what UK learners and driving instructors told us they want from a swap service: privacy, honesty about what we can and cannot do, and a clean record with the regulator.
- We are not DVSA, DVLA, DVA, nidirect or GOV.UK. We are a private matching service.
- We do not store payment details. The service is free.
- We do not share your phone number, email, address, licence number or theory pass number with another learner.
- We publish all our source citations in every blog post — usually GOV.UK, DVSA bulletins, the BBC and the Driving Instructors Association.
- Only the test details needed for matching are used across the confidential matching network.
- The DVSA booking reference is encrypted and only made available after both learners agree.
