View or share your driving licence information

You can use this service to:

view your driving record, for example vehicles you can drive
check your penalty points or disqualifications
create a licence ‘check code’ to share your driving record with someone, for example a car hire company

The check code will be valid for 21 days.

You’ll need:

your driving licence number
your National Insurance number - find your National Insurance number if you’ve lost it
the postcode on your driving licence

This service is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).

You can only use this service if your licence was issued in England, Wales or Scotland.

It’s a criminal offence to obtain someone else’s personal information without their permission.
