New driving licence registration

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the new driving licence registration process:

Eligibility Criteria:

• You must be at least 18 years old (16 years old for a moped or motorcycle licence)
• You must have a valid proof of identity (e.g., passport, ID card, or birth certificate)
• You must have a valid proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement)

Documents Required:

• Proof of identity (as mentioned above)
• Proof of address (as mentioned above)
• Proof of name change (if applicable, e.g., marriage certificate or deed poll)
• Proof of residency (if you're a non-UK resident)
• Medical certificate (if you have a medical condition that may affect your ability to drive)

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Book an appointment: Visit the GOV.UK website or contact your local DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) office to book an appointment for a new driving licence application.
2. Fill out the application form: You can download and fill out the application form (D1) from the GOV.UK website or pick one up from your local DVLA office. Make sure to fill it out accurately and sign it in the presence of a witness.
3. Provide required documents: Bring all the required documents to your appointment, including your proof of identity, proof of address, and any other relevant documents.
4. Take a vision test: You'll need to take a vision test to ensure you can see well enough to drive safely. This test is usually done at the DVLA office.
5. Pay the fee: The fee for a new driving licence is currently £34 for a paper licence or £43 for a photocard licence. You can pay by credit or debit card.
6. Wait for your licence: Once your application is processed, you'll receive your new driving licence in the post. This can take up to 3 weeks.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure to apply for your licence well in advance of your planned driving date, as the application process can take some time.
• If you're applying for a licence for the first time, you may need to provide additional documentation, such as a valid passport.
• If you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to drive, you'll need to provide a medical certificate from your doctor.
