DVSA Update From today (Monday 2 November 2020) we will be contacting practical test candidates who have a test on hold due to COVID-19 to give them a refund. We emailed these candidates to ask them to choose a new test and made them aware that we would be refunding them if they did not do this by 2 November 2020. Organising refunds Most tests on hold can be refunded automatically to the bank card used to book them. The refunds usually take 5 days to appear in the account from the date when the test is cancelled.
