View or share your driving licence: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to generate a digital check code to quickly share your driving licence details with car hire companies.
This service allows you to view your driving record online and generate a temporary code to share your details with others.
Who it's for
This service is available to holders of a UK driving licence.
What you get
You can generate a digital check code. This code allows you to securely share your driving information, such as your penalty points or vehicle categories, with third parties like car hire companies.
What it costs you
The service is free to use. To complete the process, you will need to have your driving licence number and your National Insurance number ready.
The catch to know
The digital check code you generate is only temporary. It will expire after 21 days, so you may need to generate a new one if you do not use it immediately.
How to apply
- Visit the official government portal.
- Enter your driving licence number, National Insurance number, and postcode.
- Follow the prompts to view your details or generate a code.
- Share your code with the person or company requesting it.
