Applying for a Jersey driving licence
Before you can legally drive a vehicle on the road, you need to have a valid driving licence for the category of the vehicle you want to drive.
If you’re applying for your Jersey driving licence for the first time, you must visit your parish hall. If you’re renewing or replacing an existing licence, you can do it online. You’ll need:
- to complete an application form (available from your parish hall)
- one passport sized colour photograph
- the licence fee (£50 for a full licence and £20 for a provisional licence)

If you usually live outside Jersey and you’re staying in Jersey for less than 12 months, you can drive on your own non-Jersey driving licence.

Below is a list of countries fro which Jersey will accept driving licences for exchange. To exchange your foreign licence, you need to visit your local parish hall.
