Life in the UK Test in Edinburgh
The Life in the UK test is taken at official test centres run for the Home Office — there are over 30 across the UK, including in Edinburgh. You do not book with the centre directly: you book on GOV.UK, and when you book you choose from the centres nearest to the address you register with.
Booking facts for Edinburgh candidates
