Getting to the test in Aberdeen
Aberdeen station and the bus station sit side by side in the centre, with trains south to Dundee and Edinburgh and north to Inverness. The A90 is the main road in from the south.
We publish no centre addresses or opening hours, here or anywhere on this site. The list changes, and a stale address costs someone a £50 appointment. Your postcode on the official service returns the centres you can actually book.

The rest is set nationally and is no different in Aberdeen:
Life in the UK test in Aberdeen: common questions
- Is there a Life in the UK test centre in Aberdeen?
We do not publish addresses or opening hours, because the list of centres changes. Enter your postcode on GOV.UK and the service returns what you can book across Scotland, nearest first.
- How far would I have to travel from Aberdeen for the test?
The nearest we cover is Dundee, roughly 58 miles from Aberdeen, so there is no quick alternative. Book as early as you can.
- What if there are no appointments left in Aberdeen?
Book any centre the service offers you, not only the closest. From Aberdeen that means Dundee at about 58 miles or Perth at about 73 miles, measured in a straight line. One of those often has a slot sooner.
