Motorcycle and moped tests
What to take to your tests
You must take a moped or motorcycle and all of the following:
- your UK photocard driving licence
- your theory test pass certificate
- your compulsory basic training (CBT) certificate - unless you’re taking the test to upgrade your full motorcycle licence
- your module 1 test pass certificate - if you’re taking your module 2 test
Your test will be cancelled and you will not get your money back if you do not bring a moped or motorcycle and the right documents with you. They must be originals, not photocopies.
Clothing
You must wear:
- a motorcycle helmet that meets British safety standards (unless you’re Sikh and wearing a turban)
- motorcycle boots or other sturdy footwear that supports and protects your ankles
- textile or leather motorcycle trousers or heavy denim trousers
- a textile or leather motorcycle jacket or a heavy denim jacket with several layers underneath
- motorcycle gloves
Your driving licence
You need to apply for a replacement driving licence if you lose yours before your test. This could take up to 15 days to arrive.
You should rearrange your test if you do not get the new licence in enough time. You must do this at least 3 working days before your test date or you’ll have to pay again.
If you have a paper licence
You must bring a valid passport and your paper licence if you do not have a photocard driving licence.
If you have a licence from Northern Ireland
You must bring the photocard and paper counterpart if you have a licence from Northern Ireland.
If you’ve lost your theory test certificate
Contact DVSA with your:
- name
- address
- date of birth
- driving licence number
You’ll be sent a letter that you can take to your test instead of your pass certificate.
