Individuals who wish to obtain a new driving licence, renew an existing one, or make changes to their current licence should complete the D1 form.

How do I confirm my identity when submitting the D1 form?
To confirm your identity, you must provide specific documents, such as a passport, birth certificate, or identity card. It is important to note that photocopies are not accepted. If your name has changed, you will also need to provide documentation that links your current name to your previous name, such as a marriage certificate or deed poll.
What should I do if I have a medical condition?
If you have a medical condition that could affect your driving ability, you must complete the relevant section of the D1 form. This section includes a list of conditions, and you should indicate any that apply to you. Depending on your answers, you may be required to submit additional medical information or complete a medical questionnaire to assess your fitness to drive.
What happens after I submit the D1 form?
After submitting the D1 form, the DVLA will process your application. If everything is in order, you will receive your new driving licence by mail.
