Get your provisional licence

Getting your Provisional Driving Licence is the first step towards your full driving licence. There are certain requirements you need to meet to enable you to successfully apply :

  • You are a resident of Great Britain
  • You meet the minimum age requirement
  • Your eyesight is of the necessary standard
  • There is no reason why you are being prevented from driving.
  • You can pay by credit or debit card (for online application)
  • You have a valid UK passport or another formal form of identity
  • You can provide addresses of where you have lived over the last three years

The application form (Form D1) can be obtained from the Post Office or you can apply online from the 'Direct Gov' site

The Theory Test

The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.

You can get further details from the Theory test section on the Direct Gov site

You can also book the theory test online from the booking section on the same site

The Practical Test

Once your driving has reached a suitable level, you will be wanting to get your driving test booked. The timescale for bookings can vary one month to the next depending on the number of other learners applying around the same time. You should not just go ahead and book the test before checking that a car will be available first!

Changes to the practical test

October 2010 sees the introduction of a new 'independent driving' section of the practical test. During this section, you will be asked to follow signs to a particular location to see how well you deal with driving without direction from the examiner.

For more information regarding the practical test please go to the official site.

You can book your practical test here.
