Driving Licence Verification

You and any other drivers named on your policy when the policy was taken out will need to self-declare your licence data.

Convictions are no longer recorded on the counterpart driving licence, which became obsolete with effect from 8 June 2015.

You will need your driving licence number, your national insurance number and your postcode. If you are not sure what your driving licence number is, then instructions are provided on the website below.

Open the following link in a new window and follow the instructions below:

5. Click ‘Obtain code’.
6. You will be provided with a check code which should be entered in short form below.
7. Complete the remainder of the form below and click ‘Submit’.
