What happens if I miss my DGT appointment?
It lapses and you need to book again. The DGT asks you to cancel appointments you will not attend so someone else can use the slot.
Guide · 2026

The DGT lets you cancel an appointment at any time from the same site where you booked it. Picked the wrong day or time? Book a new one and cancel the old one. If you cannot attend, cancel it: the slot goes to someone else.
From your status page you can ask us to cancel it; we do it on the DGT site with the booking details and confirm back. You can also cancel it yourself with the steps above.
Slots free up during the day through cancellations and go within minutes. We watch the official calendar non-stop, book in your name the moment one appears and message you on WhatsApp. You only pay if we get it.

There is no “change” as such: book a new appointment (it can be the same day) and cancel the one booked by mistake.
No. The office, the appointment date and the applicant's ID are enough.
