If you have passed the theory test, bring the certificate or ensure it is registered digitally. Confirm with the provider whether a physical copy is required.

Your helmet must be approved (e.g. ECE 22.05/22.06) and fit correctly. The examiner may check it. Do not use a damaged or non-approved helmet.
Protective clothing
Wear motorcycle jacket, trousers, gloves, and boots. The examiner may refuse the test if your gear is inadequate. Confirm with the provider if specific standards apply.
Motorcycle with valid registration and insurance
The motorcycle must be roadworthy, taxed, and insured. Bring the registration document if required. Confirm with the provider whether you need to show papers on the day.
