Apply or renew a drivers licence
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
- 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.
You can apply for a drivers licence online. You will need a debit or credit card to use this service.
