Utility bill, tenancy agreement, or letter from local assembly. Must be recent (within 3 months).
Two recent passport-sized photographs (45mm x 35mm) with white background.
Medical form completed by a certified medical practitioner. We can recommend approved doctors.

Receipts for application fees, theory test, and practical test payments.
KBEV provides complete documentation assistance! We'll help you prepare all required documents, schedule medical exams, and ensure everything is correct before submission.
Practice extensively in the same vehicle you'll use for the test. Know all controls, mirrors, and blind spots.
Develop a consistent observation routine: mirrors, blind spots, signal, maneuver. Examiners look for systematic checks.
Maintain appropriate speeds for different road conditions. Too slow can be as problematic as too fast.
Take multiple mock tests under exam conditions. KBEV provides simulated tests that mirror the actual DVLA examination.
The complete process typically takes 6-10 weeks: 4-8 weeks of training (depending on program intensity), plus 2 weeks for DVLA processing and testing. With KBEV's efficient scheduling, most students complete within 8 weeks.
If you don't pass on your first attempt, KBEV provides additional practice sessions at a discounted rate focused on your weak areas. We'll work with you until you're confident for a retest. There's typically a 2-week waiting period for retests.
