    You lost your provisional licence?
    This is a guess but if you're in the system/computer it might be ok anyway.

    I'm bouncing this over to LtD as I'm guessing some other learners have had this problem too.

    all I can say is that when you go to the test centre they don't check your license number in a system so the only proof they woudl have is to actually see your licenese, think you might be goosed to be honest, you can always apply to have the date changed, if you are a no show or turn up and they say no then you'll be out of pocket. Got a new license in Feb and it took about 5 weeks.

    Ring the test centre and ask, worst case try to reschedule.

    Contact your local licence issuer and see if they can guarantee a replacement licence before 8th.
    If not cancel your test.
    You have to give 10 days notice so as not to lose the fee, you have a bit of time yet.
