In-person driver theory tests resume today at testing centres in Wicklow and around the country.
The Road Safety Authority says it will initially carry out 25,000 theory tests per month, increasing to 50,000 over time.
More than 120,000 people are currently waiting to take their driver theory test, after centres closed due to the pandemic.
RSA spokesperson Brian Farrell, hopes the backlog can be cleared by the autumn:
