Getting your drivers licence for the first time might seem complicated and a little
worrying - but let us put your mind at rest with our brief guide on how to get
your Drivers License...

3. How To Get Your Driving License
1) Getting a Provisional Driving Licence:
You will need to apply for a Provisional Driving License and anyone over the age
of 16 can do this. This will allow you to learn to drive a car, moped or
motorcycle in the UK.
You must fill out the D1 application form which can be found at your local Post
Office. But this can also be done online, for both ways you will need proof of
your identity. That will in most cases be your passport/Birth Certificate or
National Insurance Number and one passport sized colour photograph as
well as a fixed fee of £50.00 to pay. There will be a tick list of what you need
to send on the D1 form.
The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) ask for you to send all your
original documentation to them, they will also be returned safely to you.
You will need to send your completed application form and payment to DVLA,
Swansea, SA99 1AD.

2) Booking Your Driving Lessons:
Whether it's through our company, Want Driving Lessons, or another driving
school, you'll need to prepare for your theory and practical driving tests.
The DSA recommends that you will need anything from 20 to 50 hours to reach
test standard driving.

3) Taking Your Theory Test:
The test can taken in between receiving your Provisional Driving License and
taking your practical test.
The test itself will be taken on a computer- you will be asked to do a Hazard
Perception unit as well as the multiple choice theory section. The whole test
should take you about an hour and a half to do.
Want Driving Lessons have exclusive Online Training Software, a way of
revising for the test in the comfort of your own home.
The layout of the Want Driving Lessons revision theory test questions will be as
realistic as possible, so you will be fully prepared and know what to expect
when it comes to your Theory and Hazard Perception tests.

Once you have successfully passed the Theory and Hazard Perception tests,
you will then need to work towards passing the final part of your driver
training: The Practical Driving Test.
When you are ready, your instructor will let you know. You can either book your
Driving Test over the telephone or do it online through the DSA website.

Your provisional license number, your credit or debit card details to pay the test
fee and hire of the car, your theory test pass date and certificate number and
