How do I get a Provisional Driving Licence?

Acquiring a Provisional Driving Licence is quite simple.

To get a provisional Driving Licence you need to fill in a form D1.

From anywhere in the United Kingdom you can get the form D1 to apply for your provisional driving licence from the local post office.

If you wish you can apply online. The page at DirectGov has a full list of the requirements and up to date information. I would suggest DirectGov as probably the quickest of the two methods.

Also by applying online you have the certain knowledge that your application for your provisional driving licence has not been lost in the postal system.
