At the request of the Department, the RSA is working on a plan to rollout an online driver theory test service. It has been trialled on a pilot basis for those taking a theory test for trucks and buses during the months of December and January.

The pilot is now being evaluated and the RSA is committed to extending the service for all theory test customers during 2021. There will be a limit on the number of customers that can avail of the service during the initial rollout phase but the objective is that it should be an option for all theory test customers during later phases of the rollout, in line with enhancing access to public services. However, scaling up operations to facilitate higher numbers will take time to achieve.
