The number of offenders found guilty at all courts, of offences related to driving with a driving licence that was fraudulently obtained, in England and Wales, from 2012 to 2014 (latest data available) can be viewed in the “Motoring data tool “ in the annual publication linked below:-

The Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings Database cannot separately identify whether an offender convicted of driving without insurance had a licence or held a provisional or full licence. The information requested can only be obtained at disproportionate cost. The overall number of convictions for driving without insurance is available at the link above.
