Hi Arjun. Thanks for sharing your experience. I like your honesty in mentioning that you got your licence after multiple attempts. It is very encouraging. All is well that ends well.
The process of learning to drive is very tough indeed. But it is a challenge I'm willing to face. Being able to drive a car is the ultimate tool to freedom!
Thanks for the information. How long does the overall process takes starting from getting the provisional license to passing the practical test. I know it differs from person to person but on an average how many weeks or months in best case?
Nice Video Good day!. My Driving test will be on 3rd of August, Im using my own car for the test I hold a International drivers license driving here for 8 month's now and will expire in September. 1st question is can I drive unaccompanied to the driving test centre? 2nd question about the L Plate can I put it on when I arrive at the driving centre? Hoping for your response Thank you
Very help video, for I am new in UK. Your personal testimony was very very encouraging. Thank again. Should I study for the theory test first before applying for my provisional driving license?
Hi - thanks for your comment, theory test is possibly the easiest part of getting a driving license here in the UK. I suggest you get your provisional license at the earliest unless you want to use your home country license in the first year (if eligible) to rent a car and drive. Thanks for watching my content!
Hi, I came in UK on dependant visa on May 30th 2021 and stayed only 50 days in UK until now (February 2022). The remaining days I was outside the kingdom.

Hi nimble, I’m an American citizen and don’t have a US drivers license and I’m active duty military stationed on mildenhall AFB. I have a us learners permit however there is no way I can complete it to a full license. I don’t have a passport, but I do have nato orders and proper documentation to prove I’m here legally. What can I do to start driving? I haven’t been able to get ahold of the DVLA and this is kinda my last resort. Any help is very much appreciated!!
You’ll have to apply for a learners license and go through the process to get a full license using you proof of residence. Fill out the form and contact the DVLA with the information. That’s all I can suggest, you should be able to a UK provisional license if you’ve been here for more than 6 months
thank you for this video. i have few questions, does DVLA send the BRP after sending the provisional driving licence? because they sent my provisional driving licence without sending my BRP card. my second question is, on the DVLA site, it is stated that you must have lived in the UK for 185 days before you can write the theory test, is this true? because I haven't been in the UK for up to 185 days.
Hello brother. I have south Korean driving license. Should I contact Korean embassy for translating my license because my license issued in 2017 and valid until 2027. Now, I am in uk. Thank you
Hi.. nice video.... Just wanted to know, I came to the UK in feb 2020, and here till Nov 2021, if I just get the provisional license now, can I drive till Nov 2021? I am driving now, based on the fact that my Indian license is valid for 12 months.
Thanks for the information. It was very clear. I just had one more question though. If I am within my 12 month period of using the indian driving license and want to book a driving test directly, can I do that? Do I still need to get a provisional driving licence within my 12 month validity period? Thanks in advance.
You need the provisional driving license as in order to do the practical test you need: 1. To pass the theory test 2. Have a car with valid insurance for the practical test and also a provisional driving license to prove your address. No getting around the provisional license I’m afraid.. 😀 Hope this helps.
Hi sir I would like to say thank u for sharing this beneficial content so I have one question sir i have UAE 🇦🇪 driver license of light vehicle 🚗 I came to know I exchange it here but it’s invalid so in here in uk 🇬🇧 about 14 months ago so my question is can I exchange my invalid UAE 🇦🇪 driving license to uk 🇬🇧 license or I have to make it valid first from UAE 🇦🇪?? I need your answer sir it would be highly appreciated 🙏
Sorry your comment is really difficult to follow. If your driving license from 🇦🇪 is not eligible🚫 to be exchanged with a British 🇬🇧 driving license then you can’t. Please use the internet links 🧑💻 provided in the video description to find out if you are eligible.
Great video! 👏 Just a question. Do I have to wait and enjoy the 12 months privilege of driving before processing the provisional license, then the theory test and so on? Or I can process it now? I just arrived here in UK last two months ago from the Philippines. Thank you.
If you apply for provisional license now then you can’t use your home country license as far as I know about it. It may be worth checking but I suggest you use the current license you have to get used to driving in the UK. It will help you pass the driving test and get your license later on

Hi. Thanks for the suggestions. Really useful. I have a query. We have a Singapore DL and do we need to wait for 1yr to get full UK DL from our license to be converted or we can convert immediately we come to UK.

Now i am trying to book my theory test, but the website says that i have to be in uk for 185 days before i can apply for the test. Does it mean that i have to wait around 6 months more before applying for theory test?
Hi! Like South Korea, SG driver’s license can also be converted to a UK license. After that conversion, does the holder ever have to take any exam to renew it?

Hi there! Can I exchange my American Driver’s License for a British driving licence, or do I have to apply for a provisional UK license? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Guide me one more thing if i got a car in 100£ and wanna get insured that car? How much monthly insurance do i need to pay on international licences? Im unable to find cheap insurance mostly insurance are 300+ per month with 2100 upfront
The best way to get insurance is to search through a price comparison website. Uswitch, go compare or money super market. I have done a video not on car insurance but the typical costs for running a car on my channel you can watch that or if you want more information on how use price comparison sites there is a video about internet and Tv on my channel where I cover this

Hi mate I want to ask about something. I have European driving license. I have got a penalty ticket for black tints -6 points in total. When I’m gonna change my europian driving license for British driving licence. How many points I will have ? 12 -6 =6 ? Or I will start with 6 points -6 =0 so I will lost my driving license?
This is difficult one to answer. I don’t know much about the points m but I would have assumed you transfer points because you have a European license. Is it 6 points for black tints?!
@@TheNimbleNomad is it 3 points for black tints. But they have stopped me 2 times in 2 months for the same reason.. so I have lost 6 points in total. But I have a europian driving license.. they problem it will be when I’m gonna change it. I don’t know how the system works. I have 12 points -6 or I start like new driver with 6 points. And I’m losing automatically my driving licence..
Its really nice video, I came to UK 10 days ago, I am from india and i do have international license, can i drive motorcycle up to 125 cc with it for 12 months ??
There’s no such thing as an “international driving licence “, it’s merely an international driving permit and all it does is translates your driving licence into various languages so that if you’re stopped the police can understand what you can drive, it’s used to supplement your driving licence not replace it.
This is dependent on your driving skills; Each lesson usually costs about £40 and you need about on avg 10 to 15 lessons. Also the test costs about £60 and you need a car which if you don’t have you need to ask the driving instructor so that can be anything from £120 upwards. If you fail the test then you need to go through the full cycle again. Provisional license is about £30 (approx.) + theory test £45. All in you should atleast budget £1000 but this is dependent on how much time you need and how many attempts to pass the test.
Hi - there is a list of countries which are included under the designated license exchange in the UK, you can check on the gov website. I don’t know about UAE licenses. See link below www.gov.uk/exchange-foreign-driving-licence
I think this is quite a unique situation - is he based in Greece? If yes, then he can drive in the country for 12 months after moving to UK. As far as I know. And if Greece is included in the designated country list then he can convert the license as I have mentioned in the video. But please double check with DVLA directly. Thanks.
Hi, great video! I am trying to change my address in provisional licence using the old dvla website. I only have my surname but the old dvla website wont allow surname only. What should i do?
The UK licence is valid up until the day before your 70th birthday, it has to be renewed then and every 3 years after. The photocard is only valid for 10 years and has to be renewed, this may involve having a new photo. Although the photocard expires the licence is still valid, if you drive whilst the photocard has expired the offence is driving with an expired photocard and not driving without a licence.
I’m Pakistani, have International Driving License brought from Pakistan. Can I exchange with UK Driving License? Or i have to go through whole test like theory then practical test?
After 12 months you will need to go through the whole process. If you are a resident you cannot use an international driving license. You can use your Pakistani driving license for 12 months from the date you arrive
Hi - Thanks for the info. I have one query though - I have got a driving license from UAE which I understand can be exchanged for a UK driving license. However, the D1 form states that you should be resident in UK for at least 185 days prior to that whilst my UAE driving license will expire by that time since I recently moved to UK. Any advice on the above matter is highly appreciated. Thanks 🙏
Assalamualikum sir I am student asylum seekers. I have right to work. I have national insurance number. I have arc card. Can I apply for provisional driving licence arc card?
Hi.. I'm from Pakistan just came in UK in November now want to apply for license but they are asking for the address where I have been lived for last 3 years what should me do please guide me
@@TheNimbleNomad yeah it's online and secondly there's no option to add another country the application is only proceeding next if we add 3 year otherwise no option to proceed next I tried all... Now I'm confuse what if I add 3 years but it's not true...
There is an option in the form which clearly says “other ways to enter your address” after you enter your current address which has to be UK. After you select that you can choose to add a non-GB address. Please do not add invalid addresses into the form - this is illegal.
That depends on how many attempts you need to pass the test and classes from the driving instructor. I would budget £800 to £1k if starting from scratch.
Okay another quick one😂🙏🏾🙏🏾I'm from SAb I'm currently in mauritius and I'm coming to UK for 2months then return to SA, is it possible during my stay in UK to get the licence🥲
I don’t understand what this has to do with the video or the content? If you’re here to try and find minor faults with my English, then your comment is irrelevant. I’ve used the correct use of “licence” in the title and thumbnail which is as a noun. In the US License is used as a noun and verb.
American English is bad English. A driving test examiner would, assuming I had reached the required standard, license me to drive, and then present me with a driving licence. Do you see the difference? It's really not that difficult!
Process of getting a driving license from scratch starts at 6:55

Hi mate I want to ask about something. I have European driving license. I have got a penalty ticket for black tints -6 points in total. When I’m gonna change my europian driving license for British driving licence. How many points I will have ? 12 -6 =6 ? Or I will start with 6 points -6 =0 so I will lost my driving license?
This is difficult one to answer. I don’t know much about the points m but I would have assumed you transfer points because you have a European license.
Is it 6 points for black tints?!
@@TheNimbleNomad is it 3 points for black tints. But they have stopped me 2 times in 2 months for the same reason.. so I have lost 6 points in total. But I have a europian driving license.. they problem it will be when I’m gonna change it. I don’t know how the system works. I have 12 points -6 or I start like new driver with 6 points. And I’m losing automatically my driving licence..
They won’t give you a license if they think you will lose it. I don’t think you will. You can appeal the points you know…
@@TheNimbleNomad really? How I can appeal the points?
The information should be available on the DVLA site. I think there is a time limit usually
Thanks so much *TRENCHGLITCH* you’re the only dude that mailed my driver license card I request keep his words, you deserve all respect Brodie!!!
Can someone change afghani driving license to uk driving license?
Or need to pass theory test?
Hi Bro...
I just moved to Uk completed one month. Is that I can apply for provisional license?
I don’t think you can - you need to be in the UK for 6 months before you apply
@@TheNimbleNomad I already paid 34 pounds online without checking the proper details. Now can you please advise me how to reclaim the paid amount.
How much tym of gab between one test fail in theroy and pratical test.
Its really nice video, I came to UK 10 days ago, I am from india and i do have international license, can i drive motorcycle up to 125 cc with it for 12 months ??
You can drive with your Indian license for 12 months.
Thanks for taking the time to watch my video!
There’s no such thing as an “international driving licence “, it’s merely an international driving permit and all it does is translates your driving licence into various languages so that if you’re stopped the police can understand what you can drive, it’s used to supplement your driving licence not replace it.
How much money should need in total?
For what?
everything, lessons, appoiments, like how much money cost to start from 0 to get the driver licence
This is dependent on your driving skills;
Each lesson usually costs about £40 and you need about on avg 10 to 15 lessons.
Also the test costs about £60 and you need a car which if you don’t have you need to ask the driving instructor so that can be anything from £120 upwards.
If you fail the test then you need to go through the full cycle again.
Provisional license is about £30 (approx.) + theory test £45.
All in you should atleast budget £1000 but this is dependent on how much time you need and how many attempts to pass the test.
What if I am from India but I have got a license from Australia? Can it be converted as well?
ive covered this in the video.
Hi.i take licence b 2 month ago..can I take lorry licence.or want some time
Can i convert my UAE driving license?
Hi - there is a list of countries which are included under the designated license exchange in the UK, you can check on the gov website.
I don’t know about UAE licenses. See link below

Hi ,my friend got test January in Greece. He is a UK citizen. Is it still valid and can drive after Brexit when he will come to UK.
I think this is quite a unique situation - is he based in Greece? If yes, then he can drive in the country for 12 months after moving to UK. As far as I know.
And if Greece is included in the designated country list then he can convert the license as I have mentioned in the video. But please double check with DVLA directly.
Thanks.
can International Student apply for a UK driving license?
As long as you have a legal residence permit - yes you should be able to
Does International student have to stay at least 180 days in UK before applying for provisional license?
It’s a standard rule so yesz
Will your Indian driving license become invalid if you apply for a provisional license In the UK ( within 12 months of reaching UK)
Yes
can i exchange my expired license from a designated country ?
No
So the driving school will just give you a car for the test
You need to pay for it - but yes
Hi, great video! I am trying to change my address in provisional licence using the old dvla website. I only have my surname but the old dvla website wont allow surname only. What should i do?
What do you mean “wont allow surname only”??
If nonGB DL is exchanged from a designated country for a UK DL..how long is the validity of a UK DL after exchanging?
It’s usually 20 years I think.
The UK licence is valid up until the day before your 70th birthday, it has to be renewed then and every 3 years after. The photocard is only valid for 10 years and has to be renewed, this may involve having a new photo. Although the photocard expires the licence is still valid, if you drive whilst the photocard has expired the offence is driving with an expired photocard and not driving without a licence.
I’m Pakistani, have International Driving License brought from Pakistan. Can I exchange with UK Driving License? Or i have to go through whole test like theory then practical test?
After 12 months you will need to go through the whole process. If you are a resident you cannot use an international driving license. You can use your Pakistani driving license for 12 months from the date you arrive
Hi - Thanks for the info.
I have one query though -
I have got a driving license from UAE which I understand can be exchanged for a UK driving license.
However, the D1 form states that you should be resident in UK for at least 185 days prior to that whilst my UAE driving license will expire by that time since I recently moved to UK.
Any advice on the above matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks 🙏

Hi..
I'm from Pakistan just came in UK in November now want to apply for license but they are asking for the address where I have been lived for last 3 years what should me do please guide me
Hi - you should be able to say your previous address was outside the country. Is this on the online form for the provisional driving license?
@@TheNimbleNomad yeah it's online and secondly there's no option to add another country the application is only proceeding next if we add 3 year otherwise no option to proceed next I tried all... Now I'm confuse what if I add 3 years but it's not true...
There is an option in the form which clearly says “other ways to enter your address” after you enter your current address which has to be UK.
After you select that you can choose to add a non-GB address.
Please do not add invalid addresses into the form - this is illegal.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks alot
How much does it cost altogether to get the licence
That depends on how many attempts you need to pass the test and classes from the driving instructor. I would budget £800 to £1k if starting from scratch.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks a lot❤
Okay another quick one😂🙏🏾🙏🏾I'm from SAb I'm currently in mauritius and I'm coming to UK for 2months then return to SA, is it possible during my stay in UK to get the licence🥲
I have a US license can I change it to uk one?
Unfortunately no - you will need to go through the process after 1 year
Thank you, video was concise and useful
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
you need to be more straightforward, there are lots of repetitions.
Thanks for your feedback - this has been amended in subsequent videos
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks :)
So useful
Thank you
Thanks to *fast_track555* on Instagram for doing my driving license
The whole video could be trimmed into 3 mnts only
Good to hear - I would love to watch your three minute video on it.
@@TheNimbleNomad may be
Very lagging
Licence and License are two separate words with different meanings.
I don’t understand what this has to do with the video or the content? If you’re here to try and find minor faults with my English, then your comment is irrelevant.
I’ve used the correct use of “licence” in the title and thumbnail which is as a noun.
In the US License is used as a noun and verb.
American English is bad English. A driving test examiner would, assuming I had reached the required standard, license me to drive, and then present me with a driving licence. Do you see the difference? It's really not that difficult!
I think you have way too much time on your hands. Good luck!
Driving in the UK is a disaster.
