Do i need a letter stating that I'm a Essential worker for driving test?

My daughter did hers last September. They took her at her word. Best of luck with it

My daughter took her test today and passed, (yay!). It was her third attempt. When she failed first 2 times, she reapplied immediately (silly errors).

Anyway, she got a date back in Feb., but they cancelled it at very short notice. No word at all about rescheduling or what the situation was.

She got an mail about a month ago finally saying she's on the list, but if she was essenttial worker she could apply. She works in food service, so she didn't feel bad about saying yes.

She was offered a date a few weeks out, but there was no mention at all during the test about the essential designation.

As it happened, she had a note from work from the start of the pandemic if it was needed, but wasn't looked for at any stage.

It seems the system is operated on good faith.

If you think about it there's no way to check or enforce any of this - How can someone in NLDS decide if your job is essential/you are actually working at all? They're hardly paying additional staff to check and even then how could they? Apart from the 12 lessons which is documentable. My daughter got a test within a few weeks of applying. I suspect this is open to abuse and wouldn't advocate that but there will be plenty who will.

Hi OP

Did you check if you are an essential worker? The list is quite long:

From what I hear, they are not asking 99% of the time but I'm sure if the tester was being supervised they'd ask. Think they are mostly taking you on your word.
