No counterpart, no test.
You really need to find it soon or he'll be shown the door on arrival.0 -
I took my theory test in November, and i can confirm they were turning away *everyone* who did not have the paper counterpart.
I think I must have been the only one who actually read the letter tell you what to bring on the day!0 -

The irony is that it is the paper counterpart that is required for just about everything driving related, but is the least convenient bit of paperwork you will ever have. If you ever go to hire a car, you need the counterpart. Same if the Police give you a pull, and as you have found, when you go for a test.
Why exactly did they foist photocard licences on us, since you still need to carry a scrap of paper around too?Fight Crime : Shoot Back.
It's the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without being seduced by it.
