Is It Legal to Swap a Driving Test?
What official DVSA guidance says about learner-to-learner practical car test swaps and how to avoid slot selling, bots and unsafe information sharing.
The official learner-to-learner process
Eligible learners can swap practical car test bookings through the official DVSA phone process. The bookings are not transferred privately or changed by MoveMyTest.
The safe distinction is simple: a genuine swap is a mutual exchange between two learners. It is not the sale of a test slot and it is not automated access to GOV.UK.
Information you should never give another learner
DVSA security checks happen directly with DVSA. Keep unrelated personal and payment information private.
- Driving licence number
- Theory certificate number
- Home address
- Payment-card details
- GOV.UK login details
MoveMyTest's role
MoveMyTest checks matching details, proposes compatible learners and provides a private consent process. It does not claim affiliation with DVSA, DVLA or GOV.UK.
Questions learners ask
Does MoveMyTest access the DVSA website?
No. MoveMyTest does not scrape, automate or log into the DVSA booking service.
Is a paid test slot the same as a swap?
No. MoveMyTest is free and does not support test-slot selling. A swap is a mutual exchange of two existing bookings.
