How a swap at Gateshead works

  1. List your current Gateshead test and the dates or centres you'd accept instead.
  2. We match you automatically with a learner whose test you want and who wants yours.
  3. You both get a private chat link. Nobody sees your name or number.
  4. One of you phones DVSA on 0300 200 1122 to make the swap. DVSA confirms with both of you.

Questions

Can I swap my driving test at Gateshead?

Yes. Swaps are done by phoning DVSA on 0300 200 1122, and both learners must hold a live booking. List your Gateshead test on TestNow and we match you with someone who wants your date and has one you want, at Gateshead or a nearby centre.

Which centres are near Gateshead?

The nearest centres we match with are Gosforth (about 10 miles away), Sunderland (about 12 miles away), Durham (about 19 miles away).

Does it cost anything?

No. TestNow is free for learners. A swap only ever happens by phoning DVSA on 0300 200 1122. If anyone asks you to pay for a test date, it is a scam.

Is my phone number shared?

No. You are matched in an anonymous chat and only ever see the other person as a label. Phone numbers, emails and links are removed automatically.
