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