Before you start

We will now ask you a few questions about your eligibility for a first provisional driving licence and then confirm your identity.

You'll need to provide:

• your email and password if you have a Driver and vehicles account
• your identity document number. You can use a:
  • UK passport (a passport that expired within the last 12 months can be used for this service)
  • non UK passport
  • biometric residence permit
  • biometric residence card
  • national identity card

  By providing these details, it will help speed up your application and may avoid you having to verify your identity by post.

  You will also need to provide a valid photo and signature for your provisional licence. We may be able to use your passport photo and signature if your passport has one.
