Cost Of A Driving Licence To Rise To £70

The cost of a driving licence is rising from £50 to £70 in the new year.

That is a 40% percent increase.

A provisional licence for a learner driver will cost £30, up from £20.

The Constables Committee says it is the first price rise since 2017 and is in line with inflation over the past six years.

The increase has been agreed by the Infrastructure Minister.

A full licence is valid for 10 years, while a provisional licence is valid for six months.

Committee Chairman Constable Mike Jackson says learners can now apply for and renew their provisional licence online at their parish's website.

"Our online driving licence services permit an applicant to provide a selfie as the most convenient option for a photograph."

Some documents will still need to be provided to the Parish before the application is processed. These include proof of identity for a first application and the test pass when exchanging a provisional for a full licence.

Paper application forms continue to be available from Parish Halls.

The price increases will take effect on 1 January 2024.
