A person must be resident in Ireland to apply for a driving licence. A licence can be renewed up to 10 years after the date of expiry of the licence, so a person living abroad can renew their Irish licence if they return to live here within that time.
My Department does not have access to individual applications. All enquires relating to driver licensing are handled by the National Driver Licence Service, the provision of which I have delegated to the Road Safety Authority under the relevant legislation.
