Passing your ‘L’ License:

Age requirement: You must be 16 years of age to attempt this test. You must also provide a completed licence application and show acceptable proof of your identity. Check this carefully. Note an extract from a birth certificate is not acceptable it must be a full birth certificate. 

It is a good idea to take your Birth Certificate to the RTA and have them verify that your Original Certificate is acceptable before going for your L’s. One learner recently had an original certificate but it was unacceptable as the number on the birth certificate was wrong she then had to apply for a new certificate.

Medical Requirements:
