I have my theory test tomorrow but I've lost my confirmation letter, will I need this? I have my confirmation code I got when I booked it, and I have my counterpart and photocard, I know the address and time so will it matter if I don't have the letter?

Although you would expect them to have the necessary details to identify you and your appointment from your licence and confirmation code, the DSA website FAQs state that failure to bring the letter may result in a refusal to carry out the test...

(obviously not a clickable link, so a bit of copy&paste is required)
...but this may be to ensure you have the confirmation code.

It says on the DVD that if you booked at short notice you'll need your confirmation code rather than the letter. I booked a month in advance but this is presumely advice for people who hadn't enough time to receive their letter and thus wouldn't have it, like me. I'm hoping they won't say "no, you received the letter we dont care if you have the code"

the gov web site and when i booked my sons on line the other day it just said u need the code ..nothing about the letter ...as long as u have the code u should be fine ..take ur pass port as well just for extra id ..good luck .

Why take a passport?
The primary reason for the introduction of photocard licences was to enable the holder to be identified by their photo thus minimising acts of motoring fraud (such as getting someone else to sit your test).

Just say the letter never arrived.
With the state of the GPO these days they would believe you.

I dont think you need it.......but be honest if asked and say you mislaid it (your mum tidying up). Dont tell any lies about not receiving it!
Good luck!

If you had done as panicbutton advised the test centre would have asked you how you knew time, date and venue if you hadn't received the letter.....

it could have been booked on line ..so you would know date time etc .
