Licence Fees

The fee for a driving licence is £4.00 per year until your next decade birthday.

If a medical report is required with your application, the fee is determined by the number of years the medical advisor allows you to hold that licence (up to a maximum of five years).

If you are applying for a provisional motor cycle licence that licence will be issued for a period of two years only, and the fee will be £8.00.

If you are the holder of a full driving licence in any category, a provisional licence in any other category will be issued to you free of charge.
