If you cannot wear a face covering

When booking, you must say if you cannot wear a face covering during your driving test. You must also give a good reason for this.

Your test will be cancelled if you come for your test without a face covering and you did not say that you could not wear one when you booked it.

If you cannot wear a face covering you may not be able to take your test at the test centre of your choice.

How to say you cannot wear a face covering

When you’re asked if you have any special requirements, select ‘Special learning or educational needs’, even if you cannot wear a face covering for a physical reason. Say that you cannot wear a face covering and give your reason there.

What counts as a good reason

Good reasons are things like:

  • having a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability
  • wearing it would cause you severe distress

Wearing glasses does not count as a good reason.
