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 full or
provisional
licence, you held a
licence within the last 10 years or a
provisional
licence within the last five years or you already hold a valid driving
licence issued by another EU state or "recognised" country.
An eyesight report.
Download an eyesight report form (D.502) (pdf). This form is also available from
your Motor Taxation Office. A completed eyesight report form must accompany all first-time
provisional
licence 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.
Download a medical report form (D.501) (pdf). A registered medical practitioner should carry out
your medical examination and then complete the form. You will need a completed medical report form if you are making
your first application for a
provisional
licence for categories C1, C, D1, D, EC1, EC, ED1 or ED. You must sign the Declaration on the medical report form in the presence of the registered medical practitioner. A medical report is compulsory for any category if you will be 70 years of age or more on the first day of the period for which the
licence is being issued, suffer from any of the disabilities or diseases listed on the D.201 form, suffer from epilepsy or alcoholism or regularly take drugs or medication that would be likely to impair
your ability to drive safely. This form is available from
