How the online appointment system works

To book and pay for a test slot, you will need to register for an account. Some of you will already have access to the system for other appointment types we offer.

If you already have access, when you log in, you will simply have more options available to you.

If you don't have access yet you will need to register for an account and create a username and password. It is important that you remember this user name and password, as you will use this every time you want to book an appointment at VMS.

Once you are logged in to the book and pay system, you will choose the type of test you require, choose a convenient date and time, answer some questions about the vehicle you want to book in and pay the required fee. You will receive a confirmation email along with a payment receipt.
