WHAT’S COVERED IN THIS ARTICLE?

This article covers how you can correctly enter your driving licence details into the online form. 

WHAT DO I NEED?

Your driving licence 

Access to the Online Screening Form

GUIDANCE:

When completing the online form, you will be asked whether you hold a valid driving licence. 

This means that the driving licence will need to be within date, and list your full current legal name, and your full current address. If your driving licence has expired, or any of this information is not up to date, you will not be able to proceed, and will need to select 'No' to holding a valid driving licence. 

If you select yes to holding a valid driving licence, you will be presented with the required information for this document:

Driving licence type pertains to whether you hold a photocard or Paper style driving licence. 

For issuing country, you will need to select the country that your Driving licence is from. 

Your driving licence number will be the most important detail to enter for this section. It is imperative that you enter this number exactly as it shows on your licence, as the information is directly connected to your name and your date of birth.

Your driving licence number should consist of 16 characters - this means that you do not need to include the two numbers at the end. Additionally, this should not contain any spaces.

If you receive an error, after checking the entry, please contact the Candidate Team directly.

RECAP:

You will now understand how to correctly enter your driving licence details.
