Table of Contents

The D1 DVLA form is a crucial document for individuals looking to apply for, renew, or replace their driving licence in the UK. This form requires applicants to provide personal details, including their name, address, and date of birth, as well as information about their residency and eyesight. It's important to fill out the form using block capitals and black ink to ensure clarity. The form also addresses various types of applications, such as provisional licences, replacements for lost or stolen licences, and exchanges for foreign licences. Applicants must confirm their identity by providing specific documents, and if applicable, they must also disclose any medical conditions that may affect their ability to drive. Additionally, the D1 form includes sections for signing a photograph and confirming the applicant's health status. To facilitate the process, it is recommended to refer to the accompanying booklet INF1D, which provides essential guidance on completing the form and information about fees and services available at local DVLA offices. By understanding these components, applicants can navigate the licensing process more efficiently.

Not using BLOCK CAPITALS and black ink. The form requires clear and legible writing to ensure that all details are accurately captured.
Incorrectly marking the gender box. Many applicants forget to select their gender, which can delay the processing of the application.
Omitting the UK driver number if known. Providing this number can help streamline the application process.
Not providing a valid daytime phone number or email address. This information is crucial for communication regarding the application status.
Failing to update name or address changes. If there have been changes since the last licence was issued, applicants must provide the previous details.

Not ticking the correct licence type. Applicants should carefully choose the appropriate licence they wish to apply for, as it affects the processing.
Submitting incomplete health information. It is essential to answer either part A or part B of the health section; otherwise, the application may be returned.
