Ireland Theory Testing

Frequently asked questions

Before reaching out to us directly, take a look over some of the questions we receive frequently. If you don’t see the answer to your question, feel free to contact us directly.

A person who is disqualified may undergo a driving theory test in respect of the categories AM or BW. Persons seeking a test in the higher categories (Truck, Bus, CPC, ADI) may only undergo the test when they hold a valid driving licence in category B and they thus cannot undergo the test when disqualified.

Persons who have passed the theory test in categories AM or BW while disqualified may subsequently have the certificate accepted if presented within the validity period and with a valid application for a learner permit.

For further clarification please visit the RSA website.

The official fees for the Driver Theory Test are detailed in the relevant booking page – please choose your test type from the Booking Page.

Theory Tests are provided in the Irish language for Vehicle Categories A, B, C & D. The new combined C & D Theory Test, Bus Module Test and Truck Module Test will only be provided in English until further notice. A, B, C & D Test category names are displayed in English and Irish during the scheduling process – if displayed in Irish the test will be delivered in the Irish language.
