Pop in to any of our Car Tax issuing branches and pick up a UK driving licence application form (D1). Once you’ve filled it in, send your completed form to DVLA, Swansea, using the appropriate postcode shown on the form.

Make sure you include these items with your application:

  • A form of ID that features a passport-size photo – a current UK passport or proof that you’re entitled to a state retirement pension will be ideal
  • A passport-size photo
  • Your application fee

Please note, the DVLA reserves the right to see original identity documents.
