Hmm. You'll need to bring your pass certificate from the theory test and a completed application form to your local motor tax office, as far as I know, to get yourself a learners permit. It may take a couple of days for it to issue once they receive the form - I'd be surprised if you got it on the day.

Check with your local motor tax office - phone number will be listed on the county council's website or section in phone book. G'luck with the test!

If you are applying for a learner permit to drive you should apply for a permit for Category B to drive a car and Category W to drive a work vehicle Before you can apply for your first learner permit, you must first complete and pass a Driver Theory Test. When you complete your Driver Theory Test successfully, you will be given a certificate, which you must send with your application for a learner permit. The theory test certificate is valid for two years from the date of issue.

The application form for a learner permit (D.201) is available from your Motor Taxation Office or you can request Form D.201 by post through CitizensInformation.ie. It is not available to download online.

Completed application forms should be accompanied by:

Two identical passport-type photographs with the reverse of both signed by you.
A birth certificate or passport. This is not a requirement if
- you hold a current driving licence or held one within the last ten years
- or you hold a current learner permit or held one within the last five years
- or you already hold a valid driving licence issued by another EU state or "recognised" country.
An eyesight report. This form available from your Motor Taxation Office or you can request form D.502 by post through CitizensInformation.ie. A completed eyesight report form must accompany all first time learner permit applications. A registered ophthalmic optician or a registered medical practitioner should conduct your eye test. He or she should then complete the D.502 form and witness your signed declaration on the form.
A medical report. This form is available from your Motor Taxation Office or you can also request form D.501 by post through CitizensInformation.ie. A medical report is compulsory if
- you will be 70 years of age or more on the first day of the period for which the permit is being issued
- you suffer from any of the disabilities or diseases listed on the D.502 form
- you suffer from epilepsy or alcoholism
- you regularly take drugs or medication that would be likely to impair your ability to drive safely
A registered medical practitioner should carry out your medical examination and then complete the form. You must sign the declaration on the medical report form in the presence of the registered medical practitioner.
Your driver theory test certificate.
The appropriate fee.
