Consultation description
The fees for practical driving tests have largely stayed the same for almost 15 years while most vehicle test fees have remained the same for over 18 years.
The income DVA receives from fees must cover the costs of the services provided. Taxpayers do not generally fund DVA services. The proposed increase in fees will help DVA cover the costs of providing existing services and future investments to improve these services.
The DVA welcomes your views on the proposed fee increases.
The consultation document and associated documents can also be made available in alternative formats on request.
