1.     Attend your G.P.

3.     Fill out application form.
4.     Submit previous driver’s licence.

Your medical visit to the G.P. is NOT covered by your medical card and so the standard surgery fee will apply. Medical report forms are available from the motor tax office, G.P.’s surgeries and your local Citizens Information Centre.
The licence may be valid for 1 or 3 years depending on your medical report. Application forms should be sent to the motor tax office and your new driver’s licence will be sent out to you by post.
