Driving Licence: Name on Licence

norrie rugger

Hey guys, does anyone know if it is possible to change your name on the licence?

I want to amend mine to the Irish version and wondering if it is even possible

If I change my name or address do I need to apply for a new driving licence?

While you are required to carry your driving licence with you at all times when driving, you are not required by law to change your permit if you change your name or address. However, it is advisable. You are required to show evidence of your licence if requested to by An Garda Siochana, so your licence should contain up-to-date information.

Exchanging your licence to amend your name or address is a free service. It is also free to have an endorsement removed, a category added or an error on your licence corrected.

You must send a completed application form D.401, 2 passport type photographs (signed on back) and any required supporting documents, such as, an original marriage certificate. Contact your Motor Tax Office for more information

Thanks a mil.
Spent quite a while on the government websites, trying to find that info. They really are not user friendly (to me anyway)

Why do I always forget about the Citizens Info site...
