The Road Safety Authority (RSA), through the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS), is working to expand the current online facility to accommodate all driving licence and learner permit applications to enable accessibility online rather than by calling to an office.

The necessary legislative amendments to facilitate the online system have been made and the regulations come into effect on the 9th November. The NDLS plans to allow all application types to apply online from this week on. A Public Services Card and a verified MyGovID account will be required to access the online system.
