I have recently had a number of pupils attempting to take their tests (theory & practical) with incomplete or inaccurate documents with bitter results !!!
Firstly:
Make sure your name, age and address is correct on your provisional licence. If it is not - get it changed as soon as possible.
Issues such as change of name and correcting birth dates may need supporting documentation and WILL take longer to process by the DVLA. Check with them first if you are not sure of the problem and/or what supporting evidence you may need to send with your licence.
A change of address is normally quite routine and will be processed pretty quickly. If you have change your address just prior to taking either of your tests, fill in the change of address part of your paper licence and tell the examiner.
Secondly:
Make sure you have BOTH parts of you licence when you go for either test - YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE EITHER TEST WITHOUT BOTH PARTS.
If you do not have both parts - order the missing part ASAP. It will not take too long (2 weeks max) for this to come back to you (as long as you do not have any changes need to be made to it).
Thirdly:
It is not essential to have the theory test certificate with you when taking the practical as you will not have been able to book your test had you not got the number. You will need to sign another form just to clarify matters. It is still a good idea to have it as you would not want to put your examiner in a bad mood even before you have started your test !
Fourthly:
If you have your booking confirmation letter - so much the better. They do not often ask for it but it can also be used to confirm times of your test if there are any discrepancies.
