Documentation for your driving licence*

The DVLA checks on driving licence applications have been tightened up since the introduction of photocard licences. Learners who now apply for driving licences are now asked to submit original documentation confirming their identity.

The following documentation is accepted by DVLA as confirmation of your identity:

If your name is now different from that shown on the document you submit to confirm your identity, you must also supply original documentary evidence to confirm your change of name e.g. Marriage Certificate, Decree Absolute or Decree Nisi papers, Deed Poll or Statutory Declaration.
