Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether someone with an Application Registration Card can apply for a provisional driving licence.

An Application Registration Card is not acceptable for the purposes of applying for a driving licence as it does not evidence that the applicant meets the legal residency requirements. Driving licence applications from non-GB nationals must include evidence of the applicant’s identity and immigration status before a licence can be issued. Acceptable forms of immigration status include a UK issued Biometric Residence Permit, a non-UK Passport with appropriate VISA/Vignette showing the applicant has permission to live in the UK for 185 days or more, or a view and prove your immigration status share code issued by the Home Office.
