DVLA Check Code
Whether you are pre-booking test drives or looking to complete a test drive on the day, we strongly recommend coming prepared with a DVLA Check Code and a detailed overview of your licence.

This is a really simple to do, completed by the DVLA, and will speed up the process when you arrive for each of your test drives.

To create a DVLA Check Code, follow these steps, and remember to print a hard copy or download a pdf version and save to your mobile device to bring to your test drives
