Documentation before or after theory test?

Colin G.

Not sure if it's the right place to post this but I will take my chance. I have booked online for the theory test and now comes the part where I am in the dark. Do I need to bring the medical report such as the eyesight report before or after I pass the theory exam? Also the NDLS "Application Form for a Learner Permit D201" should be completed when I get to the NDSL centre or should I send it through post office? I have read the website carefully but maybe I missed something. Help is much appreciated.

You need to do theory test first off. Book online on theorytest.ie
You need basically an approved photo id on the day and make sure you get the name exactly right on the booking versus your ID.
Be sure you know the theory.
You then take the test.

Once you have that passed, you can go about getting your learner permit.
You will need eyesight report signed by doctor.

You should fill out the permit application form and take it into the NDLS centre. You will need various documents at that stage:
Copy of theory test pass
Eyesight report
Completed NDLS application form
Proof of ID
Proof of PPS
Proof of address
and fee.

They look after the photos now in the centre so that is handy.

You don't bring your medical and/or eyesight reports to the Theory Test centre at all, you just need two passport-quality photographs and an acceptable ID. You bring your medical/eyesight reports and a completed Leaner Permit Application Form to the NDLS centre with you.

I booked already from ndls.ie website. Is it not the same thing?

What exactly did you book?
Perhaps they have a link to the theory test booking page but they certainly don't handle Bookings for theory test.

I think that you have things a bit mixed up. That link is to book an appointment at an NDLS centre. That is where you go to apply for your license/learner permit, after you have passed your theory test. The NDLS centres don't carry out the theory tests. They are done at separate locations.

You apply for the theory test here.

Once you have passed your theory test, you bring your pass certificate (along with the eyesight report, doctors report, fee etc) with you to the NDLS center & you apply for your leaner permit. Fill out the application form when you get to the NDLS centre. There is no point in posting it in. You have to apply for learner permits in person these days. You can't do it by post.

Thats just an appointment to call in with you completed licence application form.
You need to get your theory test and your eyesight report done before you go near the ndls people.
