A provisional license currently costs £45 and can be applied for online on the DVLA’s website, or by filling in a D1 form from the Post Office.
Your license should arrive within three weeks, or longer if the DVLA have to check your medical
history.
You won’t be able to take a driving lesson without a provisional license, so make sure you
meet the age requirements:
• 17 years old (or 16 if you receive disability living allowance)
1. Provide an identity
photo and one of the following documents:
• UK Passport
• Birth certificate with national insurance
card or pay slip
• EU identity card
• Home Office travel documents
2. Know your last three
addresses.
3. Have details of any medical condition which may affect your driving.
4. Make sure you can read a
number plate from 20.5metres away.
Once you have your provisional licence it's time to book lessons and begin studying for the theory test.
You will need a copy of the highway code and there are various CD-roms and books available for both tests
and driving in general. Try to make sure they are DSA approved.
