The 3 centres you can move this test to

Since 9 June 2026, DVSA only lets you move a car test to one of your 3 nearest test centres, or the centre you first booked at. If you are booked at Bury St Edmunds, these are those three — measured as straight-line distance from the centre itself.

Ipswich is currently 3.1 weeks quicker than Bury St Edmunds. Moving a test there is allowed under the location rule, and it is one of the changes a learner-to-learner swap can achieve.

How to swap a driving test in Bury St Edmunds

1
Both of you need a spare change. Learners get 2 changes per booking, and a swap uses one each.
2
At least 10 full working days' notice before the earlier of the two tests.
3
Same test type and price band. A weekday test (£62) can only swap with another weekday test; evening, weekend and bank holiday tests (£75) swap with each other.
4
The location rule must work for both of you — see the three centres above.
5
By phone only. One of you calls DVSA, they put you on hold and call the other learner, and you both confirm. It cannot be done online, by email or over WhatsApp.

Zwitch introduces the two learners and stops there — you complete the swap with DVSA yourselves. Since 12 May 2026 it is against the law for anyone else to change, cancel or swap a test on your behalf. Never give another learner your driving licence number or booking reference.

Where these numbers come from

  • Waiting times and availability — DVSA table DRT122F: car driving test availability by driving test centre, published monthly on the second Wednesday. Latest month in this dataset: July 2026. "Median wait" is DVSA's own measure of the middle waiting time between booking and taking a test.
  • Address, postcode, coordinates and facilities — the DVSA test centre list behind the GOV.UK find a driving test centre service.
  • Distances — great-circle distance calculated from the published coordinates. Straight-line, not driving distance.
  • Known limitation — the DVSA centre list lags the live GOV.UK finder, so a centre that has recently been renamed or split may appear here in its older form. Closed centres are excluded using DRT122F. Always confirm on GOV.UK before booking.
