Additional information
Applying for your Personal Licence
You need to apply for a licence from the local council in the country where you live. You may need an address in that country in order to receive the licence. The application requires that you have the "Personal Licence Holder Level 2 Award" qualification.
NOTE: If you already have a personal licence valid in England and Wales that has an expiry date, you do NOT need to apply for a new licence. Instead, you should contact your local council for renewal.
Not sure how to do your DBS check and council application? We can take care of these for you with our complete Personal Licence application bundle.
