Who has to sit the Life in the UK test?

• You’re under the age of 18.
• You’re over the age of 65.
• You’ve passed the test on a previous occasion.
• You’re suffering from a chronic physical or mental illness. If you have a visual or hearing impairment, you will still be required to take the test. Conditions that may be regarded as short-term, such as stress or depression, do not usually qualify as a valid reason to be exempt from the test. However, your application for an exemption will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so it is important you have ample evidence from a medical professional to support your request.
