UK driving licences

Easy to use driving licence application service from Post Office®

Peace of mind

The premium UK driving licence checking service is just £4.00

For an easy and quick way to apply for your UK driving licence, use our premium driving licence checking service. For just £4.00 we will:

  • check your application is correct
  • check your documents (digital passports are returned immediately)
  • send your application, documents where appropriate and fee to the DVLA
UK driving licence

How the premium driving licence checking service works

 
  1. Visit one of over 740 Post Office® branches that offers the premium service 
  2. Bring along your passport-size photo and ID (a current UK passport or proof that you’re entitled to a state retirement pension)
  3. Fill in a UK driving licence application form and hand it in at the counter with your ID

With the premium service, we check your documents and if you hold a digital passport or entitlement to retirement pension we will give them back to you, where you hold a non digital passport, this will be sent to DVLA with your application and will be returned directly by DVLA at a later date. If the DVLA asks to see your original documents, you’ll need to use the standard UK driving licence application service instead (see below).
