NDLS Services: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to renew or replace your driving licence in Ireland and what you need to know about appointments and costs.
The NDLS services allow drivers in Ireland to manage their legal driving credentials. This includes updating your details, renewing an expiring licence, or getting a replacement if yours is lost or stolen.
Who it's for
This service is for anyone who drives in Ireland and needs to manage their official driving licence.
What you get
You can use these services to renew your current driving licence before it expires or to request a replacement licence if your current one is damaged, lost, or stolen.
What it costs you
There is a standard fee for these services. If you are over the age of 70, you will also need to provide a medical certificate.
The catch to know
If you need to visit a service centre in person, be aware that appointments are often booked out several weeks in advance. You should plan ahead to ensure your licence is updated on time.
