To receive an Irish manual transmission licence, an applicant for a driving licence exchange must be able to prove that they passed their driving test in a manual transmission vehicle . If they cannot do so, their Irish driving licence will be issued for driving automatic transmission vehicles only.

The National Driver Licence Service is provided by the Road Safety Authority. Because of data protection rules regarding the sharing of personal data, the person concerned will need to contact the Authority directly on this matter. My Department does not have access to and may not intervene in individual applications.

The RSA can be contacted on 096 25000 or by email to lqueries@rsa.ie.
