Apply for a Provisional Driving Licence
Applying for a Provisional Licence
You must hold a Provisional Driving Licence and be 17 years of age to legally drive a car on a public road. You must also be accompanied by a qualified driver over the age of 21 who has held a full licence in the relevant category for 3 years and whose licence is still valid.
You can apply online for a Provisional Licence or by post using Form D1. You can obtain Form D1 from The Post Office or from the DVLA online form ordering service. You will need to provide identification and a photo of yourself when applying for your licence.
Details of the identity documents required can be found on The Government Web Site . Form D1 also identifies the documentary evidence required.
If you want to apply by using Form D1 but do not want to send your documents through the post, The Post Office offer a Premium Checking Service. For a fee of £4 The Post Office staff will check your documentation and forward the application to The DVLA and give you back your identity documents.
You must wait until your 17th Birthday before you can take the Theory Test.
Different rules apply for anyone getting Disability Living Allowance at the higher rate (Mobility Component). The age you can legally drive on a Provisional Licence is then 16.
The fee for a Provisional Licence is currently £50.
