If you choose an in-person Class 7L knowledge test, you need an appointment. ICBC also offers the Class 5/7 knowledge test online without a knowledge-test appointment. After passing online, you still need an ICBC office visit to finish the licensing steps.
If you want to take the knowledge test in person, use ICBC's official appointment system and choose a driver licensing location that offers the service. If you take the test online, no knowledge-test appointment is needed; follow ICBC's instructions for the office visit after you pass.
| Path | Appointment Rule | What Happens Next |
|---|---|---|
| Online knowledge test | No knowledge-test appointment is required. | After passing, visit an ICBC driver licensing office to complete the remaining licence steps. |
| In-person knowledge test | Book a knowledge-test appointment. | Arrive as instructed by your location. Walk-ins are not accepted for knowledge tests. |
| Office visit after an online pass | Follow the booking instructions for the office you plan to use. | ICBC completes the remaining in-person requirements before issuing the licence. |
Bring the required original identification and, if you are under 19, the required parent or guardian consent. For the full document list and vision rules, use the dedicated eligibility guides.
Can someone else book an ICBC Class 7L appointment for you? Someone can help you use the booking system, but the applicant still has to attend and complete the licensing transaction personally.
Availability is controlled by ICBC's live booking system and can vary by location. Check the system for the dates currently open rather than relying on a fixed province-wide booking window.
If you miss an in-person knowledge-test appointment, book another available slot through ICBC. To change or cancel an existing booking, use ICBC's appointment-management options. The 48-hour road-test cancellation rule should not be applied to a Class 7 knowledge-test appointment.
Do not cancel an existing slot until you have confirmed the replacement time you want.
Use the ICBC online booking tool to check alternate locations within 50 kilometres. New appointment slots are typically released on Tuesday mornings, making that the best time to refresh and check availability.
<Do Not Overlook This: Book your initial appointment at any available location, then use the reschedule tool to check daily for a closer slot.
Example: Someone from Richmond found no local appointments for 10 weeks.
Missing or unacceptable identification can stop the licensing transaction, and arriving too late can mean the office cannot complete the scheduled service. Check the dedicated document guide before you go.
Office hours, service cutoffs, and the best times to visit vary by location. Use the office-hours guide for that detail. If you use glasses or contacts, bring them for the vision screening; full vision requirements are covered separately.

If another location has a better slot, use ICBC's appointment-management system to check whether you can move the booking there. Confirm the new appointment before giving up the existing one.
If you no longer need the in-person knowledge-test slot, cancel or change that booking so it is not left unused. Passing online still requires a later office visit to finish the licensing steps.
Can you book more than one ICBC knowledge-test appointment at the same time? Use the live booking system's reschedule options rather than relying on duplicate bookings. If you already have a slot, keep it until the earlier replacement is confirmed.
Can you move an ICBC appointment to an earlier date when a cancellation opens? Yes, if the booking system offers the earlier slot. Confirm the change before cancelling your current appointment.
"The AI mock tests were surprisingly realistic. The explanations for road signs helped me understand the logic, not just memorize. Passed my permit test on the first try!"

"I was struggling with the specific road rules of my state until I used Shoro. The flashcards are a game changer for quick revision before the actual exam."

"The readiness score gives you so much confidence. I knew exactly when I was ready to take the test. Highly recommend Shoro for anyone nervous about their exam."
