Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

My Department does not have access to individual driving licence applications and may not intervene in the licence application process. 

All enquiries relating to driver licensing are handled by the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS), delegated to the Road Safety Authority (RSA) under Section 4 of the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (No.14 of 2006).

The National Driver License Service (NDLS) may be able to provide data on the processing time of license verification and when that process is due to be completed.  The NDLS can be contacted by phone at 0818 700 800 / [phone] or online at www.ndls.ie/contact-form.html.
