DVSA Update: New telephone numbers for 20 driving test centres

New telephone numbers for 20 driving test centres
The contact telephone numbers for a further 20 driving test centres (DTCs) have changed.

The old numbers will no longer be active so please update your contact details.

The new telephone numbers for the 20 DTCs are listed below:

The contact numbers now display an 020 code, which will appear as a London number. However, you will be connected directly to your local DTC, as usual. The numbers are not routed through DVSA’s contact centre. 

Let your pupils know

We have contacted candidates who have a test booked at the 20 DTCs to let them know the new number they should use in the event of bad weather. 

If you have booked a test on behalf of your pupil, please let them know about the change in contact number.   Further changes We are investing in VOiP technology because it allows calls to be made using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular landline. We are introducing this technology to all of DVSA’s driving test centres over the next few months. We will contact you to confirm additional new numbers in due course.  

This will improve the quality of the calls to DVSA.
