Lost Theory Test Certificate

I can't believe my own stupidity.

I've thrown my theory pass certificate out with a bag of apples and some Sprite. I know when I did it too. Why oh why don't I look inside carrier bags when I throw them in the bin Embarassed

I've tried to call Pearson and the DSA but it's outside office hours now, being Saturday afternoon.
I will be doing my DAS in a couple of weeks...

Has anyone experience of this here?
Someone please tell me I won't have to pay and sit the damn thing again! It took 4 weeks for the first date to come through.

I will call them on Monday but it's weekend, I can't get advice and i'm worried..... Sad

Thank you...

call the test centre you did it at, they will have records and will issue you with a new certificate

Will likely be a charge for the service, but it wont be much

Dont worry about it, plenty of time to sort it Thumbs Up

Tip
I have a folder/workbook and keep all your license documents inside, your bike v5 the lot, and keep it all in that so you cant loose the documents and its in a big folder..

Normally I do keep all my important paperwork safe, but i'd been for my CBT and had taken it just in case....
I put it in the bag with my lunch and when I got home, threw it straight out. Crying or Very sad

Still, cest la vie. I'll be on the phone tomorrow Sad

Thanks for all your help and advice, i'll update when I know what happens in situations like this...

Just to update the thread in case anyone finds themselves in my predicament...

Just called the DSA, they don't issue relacement certificates but have given me the certificate number in order for my instructor to book my test.

The only things I need to take on the day are as stated, both parts of my licence and my CBT pass cert.

Happy days....thanks everyone Very Happy
