Getting your driving licence number?

colly10

Hi, my drivers licence was stolen and it has now expired. I need my drivers licence number. Would the tax office be the correct people to contact or the RSA? Would they hand it out over the phone if I can give them my pps number and other details?
Thanks

You don't need the driving license number. What you need is a D8.A form - lost/stolen declaration form - signed by the cop shop, and send that off with your normal application.

It's expired so I don't think they just replace it (I need that form anyway). When you replace it you get an exact copy but I need that number to apply for a new licence and to apply for a test by post.

You need your PPS number to apply for a duplicate license.

The D8 A is if it you have lost it / it has been stolen, but it has expired. The D800 form is if it hasn't expired and you want a replacement.

Seeing as it has expired, you will need the D8 A, and the ordinary application form, which is a D400.

I cant get a duplicate of an expired licence as far as I know and it would be no use to me anyway. I want to apply for a new licence but need the number off my old one, just wondering if anyone knows who to contact for this?

Thanks for your help, just one more question, I need this number to apply for my test (which I need to prove I applied for in order to get my licence), I can post the D8A and the licence application but can still not send the test proof with it because I need the number first. (this is just getting more and more complicated )

Ring your motor tax office and ask them for advice.


You can apply for a driving test the old fashioned way too...

Another question about Irish drivers license, which number on the license is the drivers license number needed for car rental.

There are two numbers under the title number, one in black print and one in large red print. Which is it? Always confuses the hell out of car rentals abroad when inputting the details.

The black one is your person file number which is always the same 040xxxxxx or whatever
the red one is the serial number of the piece of paper it's printed on which changes if you get a new licence for any reason B1234567

@OP Ring your local motor tax office and give them your name, address & DOB they should give you your file number
