View or share your driving licence information

You can view or share your driving licence information 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.

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.

Before you start

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).

Other ways to apply

You can also get a licence ‘check code’:

• through your driver and vehicles account
• over the phone
