Swappy is fully DVSA-compliant

The DVSA introduced strict new rules in 2026 to stop bots and protect learners. Swapping your Peterhead test on Swappy follows every one of them:

1 October 2026

Both learners must now call DVSA separately, on the same day — one to request the swap, the other to confirm it. The swap only completes on the second call.

Swappy keeps you both in step: you agree the day in the app, swap booking references, and each make your own call — with the second caller reminded to ring before 4pm.

31 March 2026

Maximum 2 amendments per booking (reduced from 6).

Swapping a date with another learner counts as one normal DVSA change — done by you, on your own call.

12 May 2026

Only the learner can book, change, swap or cancel a test. Instructors and third-party tools are blocked.

Swappy never touches your booking. You make your own change with the DVSA — we just help you find a partner.

12 May 2026

Automated cancellation-checking bots are banned, and tests booked using them can be cancelled.

Swappy has zero interaction with the DVSA website. No bots, no scraping — it's a community of learners swapping dates.

9 June 2026

You can only move your test to one of the 3 nearest test centres.

Date swaps keep your test at the same centre, so this rule doesn't restrict you when you swap on Swappy.
