Drivers licence

Important applicant information

In recent months, it’s come to our attention that applicants may have other people completing their application on their behalf, rather than complete their application themselves.

We strongly advise against this as you’ll still be the person responsible for the application and any supporting information and documents. Any errors, omissions and / or missed information from your application could, as a result deem your application incomplete to be processed or cause significant delays in your request to be a licence holder.

The applicant for whom the application relates to must complete the form themselves, as they are the person accountable for the information and supporting information in which they are supplying as a true and accurate application.

Cost

See all fees for the 2026/27 financial year in the Driver application pack (download below).
