Do You Need a Provisional License Before Driving Lessons? ✅ Yes! We’ll Guide You Through the Rest.
So, you’re ready to learn to drive — exciting times ahead! 🚗💨 But before you can book your first driving lesson, there’s one very important step: you need a provisional driving licence.
Why You Need a Provisional Licence
A provisional licence isn’t just a bit of paperwork — it’s your official permission to start learning to drive on UK roads. It proves that you meet the basic legal requirements to get behind the wheel, even with an instructor or supervising driver beside you.
Without it, you can’t take lessons, book a theory test, or apply for your practical driving test. So it’s your first step toward earning that full driving licence and ultimate independence!
How to Apply for a Provisional Licence
Luckily, applying is quick and easy. You can do it online through the official GOV.UK website or by post with a D1 form from the Post Office.
You’ll need:
To be at least 15 years and 9 months old
Proof of identity (like your passport)
Your National Insurance number (if you have one)
An address history for the past 3 years
A £34 fee (if applying online)
Once it’s approved, your green provisional licence will arrive by post — usually within a week!

With your provisional licence in hand, you’re officially ready to start driving lessons! 🚘
