As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping you informed and ensuring seamless motor insurance, we’re here to discuss a significant legal update. In the coming months, a new requirement under the Road Traffic Act will mandate the inclusion of a verified driving licence number during policy purchase or renewal. Let’s delve into what this means for you and how we’re ready to assist.
Key Points to Note
Compliance
With the introduction of this new legal requirement, it’s imperative that we collect and verify the driver number on the licence of all policyholders. Whether you’re renewing an existing policy, purchasing a new one, or need to replace a lost licence, having your Irish driving licence number readily available is essential for a smooth process.
Importance
Your driving licence number serves as a crucial identifier in ensuring accurate and valid insurance coverage in Ireland. We won’t be able to proceed with your policy renewal if we don’t have this information. That’s why it’s essential to provide it to us promptly.
Be Prepared
Knowing the driver number on your licence can also be beneficial in unexpected situations on the road, such as accident reporting or emergency assistance requests. Having this information readily accessible can expedite necessary processes and ensure timely assistance when needed most.
Locating Your Driving Licence Number
Your driver number on your licence is a unique 9-digit code located in field 4d of your plastic card licence or learner’s permit. It remains consistent throughout licence renewals, serving as a permanent identifier for insurance and regulatory purposes. Refer to the diagram below to easily identify where you can find your unique licence number.
