Questions
How fast is an alert?
Your centres are re-read every minute from 7am to 11pm and every five minutes overnight. When a new date on or before your deadline shows up, the email is sent within that minute.
Do you book the test for me?
No. NCTS does not allow anyone else to book on your behalf, and we would not want your card details anyway. The email has the ncts.ie link and three short steps: enter your reg, pick the centre, take the date.
Why do you need my registration?
ncts.ie only shows appointment calendars after a registration is entered. Yours lets us read the same calendar you would see. We also read the due date so we can warn you if an earlier test would count as voluntary.
What is a voluntary test?
A test more than 90 days before your due date. Pass it and your next due date moves to the anniversary of that test, so you lose the months in between. Inside the 90-day window nothing changes.
How many centres can I watch?
Up to 5, any mix across Ireland. You can change them at any time from your alerts page without paying again.
Is it a subscription?
No. €9.99 once for 30 days of unlimited alerts. When the 30 days end you get one email, and nothing is charged. Alerts start the moment you pay, so the 14-day cooling-off period does not apply.
Who runs this?
Avlas Digital, a sole trader in Ireland. We are not NCTS or the RSA and have no connection to them.
NCT waiting times in 2026 run to months at the busy Dublin centres, while cancellations open and close within minutes. nctalerts.ie is a small, independent service that watches the public booking calendar on ncts.ie for you and sends an email the moment a date you can use appears. See the live picture at every centre on the centres page.
