The National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) is the database of record for Irish Driving Licence and Learner Permit Holders. The NVDF does not store citizenship information as it is not captured during the driving licence application process. Place of birth is captured when a licence is first applied for but this is not necessarily the same as citizenship and is not updated if citizenship changes.

The issuing of FCPNs, subsequent payment of these and court summonses are all matters for An Garda Síochána. Convictions are a matter for the Court Services.
