You might need to contact the Driver and Vehicle Standards(DVSA) if you’ve lost your theory test pass certificate number.

What you need to do depends on whether you want the number to:

• book your test
• take to your test

If you’re booking your test

You usually do not need your theory test pass certificate number to book your driving test. 

If DVSA asks for your theory test pass certificate number, you can request it.

If you need to request your theory test pass certificate number

You can request your theory test pass certificate number online. 

You’ll need:

• your UK driving licence
• your booking reference number – this was sent to the email address you used to book your theory test

If you cannot find your booking reference number, you can ask for your booking details in the service.

Your theory test pass certificate number will be sent to the email address you used to book your theory test.

If you’re taking your test

You may need another way to prove that you’ve passed your theory test if you’ve lost your certificate. What you need to do depends on the type of test.

If you’re taking a car driving test

You do not need to get a replacement theory test certificate to take to your car driving test.

If you’re taking any other type of driving test

Contact DVSA with your:

• full name as it appears on your driving licence

You’ll be sent a letter that you can take to your test instead of your pass certificate.
