  • For time-sensitive or unusual cases, verify the latest procedure with the relevant authority.

Continue through the general illustrated instructions and your selected document pack.

When the authority's action is required: DOTM department ↗. You remain in control of your official account.

PLAN · GUIDE STEP 2 / 5

Identify your licence and office

Have your own licence number and issuing office ready. Never share an identity document with this planner.

The main action

Check number formatting and distinguish renewal from a first licence.

Before you start this step

  • Your own licence number, kept private
  • The relevant transport office and any renewal slip

Follow these smaller actions in order

These ticks only track preparation in this browser tab. They do not submit or approve an application.

Stuck or getting an error? Open detailed solutions
  • Cannot identify the office? Use the official receipt or ask the issuing transport office.
  • Only have an application number? Check what type of identifier the chosen checker accepts before searching.
What you should have at the end: The correct reference type and office are identified.
Avoid this mistake

Different offices publish different lists.

How to tell you're ready

You know the exact number and office to check.

Continue to: Search the published print lists

Illustrated driving licence guide, step 2: Licence search, then Match / no match, then Published source. Not an official website screenshot.

Illustration only · Open larger image ↗

CHECK · GUIDE STEP 3 / 5

Search the published print lists

Use the number-only checker and view results from imported public government lists.

The main action

Use the DOTM lookup tool; check the date and office in the matching source.

Before you start this step

  • Exact licence reference
  • Source office, if known

Follow these smaller actions in order

These ticks only track preparation in this browser tab. They do not submit or approve an application.

Stuck or getting an error? Open detailed solutions
  • No match? Check formatting; retry with the official method rather than assuming rejection.
  • Document seems unrelated to your office? Flag it and confirm with the issuing office.
What you should have at the end: A correct interpretation of what the published list actually establishes.
Avoid this mistake

A non-match is not a rejection or proof the card is not printed.

How to tell you're ready

You understand the limits of the search.

Continue to: Read details with caution

Illustrated driving licence guide, step 3: Source office, then Publication date, then Details caution. Not an official website screenshot.

Illustration only · Open larger image ↗

PREPARE · GUIDE STEP 4 / 5

Read details with caution

Compare the published office and list date; treat holder details as sensitive.

The main action

Check only your own record and report an apparent mismatch through official channels.

Before you start this step

  • Source document and office name
  • Your own application or licence details for private comparison

Follow these smaller actions in order

These ticks only track preparation in this browser tab. They do not submit or approve an application.

Stuck or getting an error? Open detailed solutions
  • Source does not contain a name? Do not infer the holder identity.
  • Two documents appear to disagree? Ask the office to resolve the discrepancy; do not publish personal records.
What you should have at the end: The specific source and any discrepancy are documented without exposing identity details.
Avoid this mistake

A print-list date is not an individual print or collection date.

How to tell you're ready

You have the source needed for a follow-up.

Continue to: Confirm collection or correction

Illustrated driving licence guide, step 4: Official check, then Office guidance, then Visit preparation. Not an official website screenshot.

Illustration only · Open larger image ↗

FOLLOW UP · GUIDE STEP 5 / 5

Confirm collection or correction

Check the official live service and contact the issuing office for current collection or correction instructions.

The main action

Ask which original documents and receipts are required before travelling.

Before you start this step

  • Issuing-office contact or official status page
  • Receipt or collection message if issued

Follow these smaller actions in order

These ticks only track preparation in this browser tab. They do not submit or approve an application.

Stuck or getting an error? Open detailed solutions
  • No response from the office? Use its published contact details or visit policy and record your attempt.
  • Public list matched but collection is denied? Ask for the current card availability check; the published list alone is not collection approval.
What you should have at the end: An office-confirmed collection or correction plan, with outstanding actions clearly listed.
Avoid this mistake

Do not travel solely because a third-party list has a match.

How to tell you're ready

Your final instructions come from the authority.

Review your completed checklist, then follow the relevant official instructions.

When the authority's action is required: DOTM department ↗. You remain in control of your official account.
