I suppose the OP could even try and get their name down on the test waiting list before their licence is revoked to minimise the time they have to spend with L plates on.

I believe you need to have done your theory test first and give them the pass number to book. Along with your provisional license number.

Correct and you need at least 14 days between passing your theory and taking your provisional.

He's already got that on his full licence.

Yes of course, but he still needs to pass his theory test again before he can book his practical test.

vaio believed he could book in for a practical test now so he shouldn't have a long wait, when this isn't possible as he would require both his licence number and his pass reference for his theory test, I do wonder though, in these cases you often have to apply for a new provisional licence and I wonder would the licence number be the same or not.

Yes, why should the driver number change?

His name and date of birth won't.

Using my licence as ID when drunk and young I have had to replace mine before after losing it and the number was different which caused a bit of aggro as it created two files that were for me with the DVLA, when changing address I still have to clarify this.

The only part of a driving licence number that can change with a reissued licence are the last 3 digits/letters.

The rest of the number is made up from your surname, initials and DOB.

I was talking about the test in total rather then just the practical, presumably the OP could put his name down for a theory test now?

This assumes that the driving number doesn't change (which it looks like it might)
