All enquires relating to driver licensing are handled by the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS). My Department does not have access to individual applications. Individuals should contact the NDLS for queries about applications.
An applicant for a driving licence born in a county in Northern Ireland (Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Derry or Tyrone) can have their place of birth recorded as Ireland, UK, or Northern Ireland, according to their preference.
If the applicant has applied online using their Public Services Card (PSC) and MyGOVID details, which provides the identity and access management of the person making the application, the place of birth on the licence will be as in the PSC details. These details cannot be amended by the NDLS. Applicants must contact the Department of Social Protection to have this amended, if they wish, before they submit their application to the NDLS.
