Instructions

Since Monday, 4th April 2011 all holders of a driving licence issued in the Bailiwick of Guernsey have been subject to an identification check. An identification check is only required on the first issue, or first alteration, of a licence.

In practice, this means that all applicants seeking to:

• take out a new or renew a licence;
• exchange an overseas licence;
• obtain a duplicate licence; or
• alter personal details on a licence (such as a change of address)

will need to fulfil the requirements for identification checking.

Broadly speaking, there are three methods by which an applicant or licence holder can meet the requirements. When next the individual needs to renew or alter the details on his / her driving licence, he / she can:

• Visit the Environment Department offices at Bulwer Avenue and, together with a completed Driving Licence Application form (DL11.2) , (which may be downloaded or obtainable from the Department), present his / her passport. The page bearing the photograph and signature will be scanned and the document returned. A new licence will be issued and will bear a date that will indicate it has been ID checked.

Or

• Visit the Environment Department offices at Bulwer Avenue and together with a completed Driving Licence Application form (DL11.2)and ID Check Application form (DLID11) , which may be downloaded from the list of application forms or obtainable from the Department, present his / her original birth or adoption certificate, together with two authenticated (the official term is attested) photographs. The certificate will be scanned and returned to the individual. If the document that is presented does not bear the holder's current name then original documentation showing a change of name (such as a marriage certificate) must also be presented.

Or

• Complete the Driving Licence Application form (DL11.2) and ID Check Application form (DLID11) , which may be downloaded from the list of application forms or obtainable from the Department, and send in authenticated colour photocopies of either a passport or a birth certificate (plus photographs).
