North-east England FAQs

Can I find swaps in North-east England?

You can list your test and MoveMyTest will screen for possible matches using your selected centres, dates and test type. DVSA makes the final eligibility and booking decision.

Are learner details public?

No. Centre pages may show the test date, a broad morning, afternoon or evening band and whether the learner wants an earlier or later test. Exact times, identities, contact details, detailed preferences and booking references remain private.

Does MoveMyTest guarantee a swap?

No. MoveMyTest can only help identify possible peer-to-peer matches.

How does the official swap happen?

After both learners accept a possible match, one learner calls DVSA. DVSA completes security checks with the caller, puts them on hold and calls the other learner before deciding whether it can complete the exchange.

What details should I keep private?

Never share licence numbers, theory certificate numbers, home address, card details or GOV.UK login details with another learner.
