    What happens to those due a retest before the end of March but local test center isn’t open yet? Ours has to be completed before the 6th of July but no test center near us is open. It states you must still adhere to the limitations on traveling set out by government. I wonder when will the rest be opened?

    The release they put out said those with NCT due before 28th March should book now.

    Everyone with NCT expiring after 28th was given an extra 4 months so shouldn't have a need to book now.

    Anyone know if your expiry date was extended is that your new anniversary date forever or will it revert back to registration date next time?

    I got my test done just before lockdown they were unable to complete test due to faulty lifts. I can now book a free retest in 2 weeks time. Am I doing the right thing or is the retest only after a completed full test?

    I cant book anything else only the free retest online.

    If your NCT test was due before 28th March fire away and book is what they're saying. If it was out after 28th there was a 4 month extension given so dont book yet according to the FAQ on the site.

    My own was out the week before the 28th and couldn't get a test until mid April which was cancelled, have it in for a service in a weeks time and got the NCT booked for 2 weeks.

    My NCT was due the day the restrictions came in. Went on the NCT site a day or two ago and was able to book in for this Wednesday at my local centre, no hassle at all.

    Sorry to post in a month old thread and apologies if there is a more relevant one.

    I've gone to book my car in (expires end of this month) but the next available date at any centre in my area or surrounding areas is mid-September. :eek:

    I will book it now to ensure I have the paperwork in my car in case of being stopped, but has there been any indication in relation to the (understandably) long wait times and how this may impact on how it is policed over the coming months or what would your opinion be on same?

    Thanks.

    Was that the original date or the new one with 4 months added?

    Make a reminder to check the website every Tuesday morning as that when bookings are updated and earlier slots may be available.

    Slots also come up as people cancel. In the past I was checking several times a day and have managed to get an opening. You obviously need to have some flexibility to be able to grab a spot though.

    I'm in the same situation. My car was due nct in April and it was then extended to August, went to book a new nct last week and have to wait until November. Just going to keep the confirmation email and text in the event the Gardaí stop me, hopefully they will understand

    Hi all.My car was tested week before lockdown with due date 30/04/2021 but when I checked on nct site has been extended till 30/08/2021.Same with my second car with nct due on the disc 28/02/2021 now 28/06/2021 and just thinking would be safe to drive past due date on the disc as new dates suits me better to do the test :)

    Hi all,
    My NCT was due back in Sept 2020, with the Covid19 thing, it has postponed to this month on the 20 of JAN 2021. I tried to book it, the next available is in March on the 10th. I do not know what to do. I ve sent an email to the NCT to see what to do. I should have booked it in advanced with more than a month....to late now.

    I don't know how far you'll get with email but if you call them they can out you on a cancellation list, it'll be short notice but you should get a date and time quick enough

    I tried to call them in the morning, nobody answered. It seems that they have an hour break now, at 14:15 will open again.
