Still waiting to book?

The RSA waiting-time estimator gives you an idea of when you may be invited to book. You choose your appointment after the invitation arrives. If you have an invitation and your preferred centre has no dates, check other locations in MyRoadSafety.

Before you leave

• Bring your valid Irish category B learner permit. Aim to be inside the test centre at least 10 minutes early and wait in the designated area. RSA test checklist · RSA Rules of the Road
• Bring a paper original or printed copy of the valid motor insurance certificate for your test car. If your name is missing, also bring confirmation from your insurer by email or headed letter that you are covered to drive that car. If you only have a digital copy, check before test day. The RSA insurance guide accepts digital copies and the test terms ask for paper. Check which insurance documents to bring.
• Check that a valid insurance disc is clearly displayed on the test car’s windscreen. The RSA’s tester procedures accept a colour-printed disc if it meets their requirements.
• If you plan to drive on your learner permit, arrange an eligible accompanying driver for both journeys. They must have held a full, valid licence in the same category for at least two years. If their licence was issued outside Ireland, check the NDLS rules for accompanying drivers with foreign licences. You still need them if you pass and drive home on your learner permit.
