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:

  1. Full Valid Current Passport
    Birth Certificate
    Certificate of Registry of Birth (Provided your name is present on the certificate)
    Adoption certificate
    ID Card issued by a member state of the EC/EEA
    Travel Documents issued by the Home Office
    Certificate of Naturalisation or Registration

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.

* Information supplied by the DVLA - subject to change without notice
