Why Swappy Never Asks for Your Driving Licence Number
Your licence number is the key to your DVSA booking. Here's why Swappy is designed to never need it — and why services that ask for it should worry you.
What a licence number can unlock
Combined with a booking reference, your driving licence number lets anyone log into the DVSA booking system as you — moving, cancelling or reselling your test. That's exactly how cancellation bots operate, and exactly what the DVSA's 2026 rules banned.
Swappy's approach: never hold the key
Swappy matches two learners using only their test date, time and centre. When they agree to swap, each learner phones DVSA's official line and verifies their own identity with the agent. Your licence number goes from your mouth to DVSA's ears — never through Swappy, never to your swap partner.
A simple rule of thumb
If any test-finding service asks for your licence number or DVSA login, it plans to access the booking system on your behalf — a breach of DVSA terms that can get bookings cancelled. A compliant service like Swappy never needs it, because the humans do the DVSA part themselves.
Swap your test the safe, official way
Only your test date, time and centre are needed — no personal details, no bots, just the official DVSA phone line.
