What happens if I forget or lose my theory test certificate?
If there's enough time - you can ring the customer service team at the DSA responsible for the theory test on: 0300 200 1188. They will be able to give you your Cerificate number or they will send you a letter confirming that you passed - this will be enough proof for the Examiner at the beginning of your practical test.
However, in reference to taking the practical test, you should still be allowed to take it even if you don't take your Theory Certificate to the test centre. You will be asked to sign a legal declaration stating that you have passed the Theory Test. This will be checked on the DSA database at a later date
We have only heard of 1 examiner in the last 6 years that prevented a test going ahead because the candidate didn't have their certificate.
Note: it's up to the examiner taking the test to decide if it goes ahead or not
The most important thing to take to the test centre for the practical test is your provisional licence with the paper counterpart. If you don't have these, your test won't go ahead and you will lose your fee!
