Taking the Life in the UK Test

آخر تحقق: 15 July 2026

• 1The Life in the UK Test consists of 24 questions covering all parts of the handbook.
• 2Questions are based on the whole handbook — any chapter or section can be tested.
• 3The test is usually taken in English, but arrangements can be made to take it in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic.
• 4The test is taken at a registered and approved Life in the UK test centre; there are about 60 test centres around the UK.
• 5The test can only be booked online through GOV.UK.
• 6You cannot take the test at just any location — only at an approved centre.
• 7Current test-day identity rules require the booking details to match the accepted identity evidence used for the booking; physical documents must be original, while an eVisa is evidenced with a UKVI share code. A separate proof of address is not listed in the current GOV.UK guidance. # GOVUK-CHECKED-2026-07-24
• 8Acceptable evidence and transitional arrangements can change, so candidates should check GOV.UK before booking and again before travelling to the test centre. # GOVUK-CHECKED-2026-07-24
