Can I buy car insurance before my physical license arrives?

    I just passed my driving test in the UK but it will be three weeks until they send the actual license to my address in Ireland.
    I have a good quote from the AA and was wondering if I can buy this insurance before the license itself arrives (I have my driver number)
    Thanks

    Yeah, just note that they sometimes want a photocopy of the licence sent to them. Depends on the company.

    i'm a bit confused; did you put an RoI address down when completing a GB driving test? THey won't issue a licence with a non UK address plus if you weren't "resident" (within their terms) for 6 months prior to the test, it's of dubious validity. Irrespective of the test point, they won't issue a licence with an overseas address - this is an issue for people leaving the UK all the time.
