On the photo side, on row 5, you\u2019ll find a string of 16 letters and numbers. The first five characters will be the same first five characters of your surname. This is your driving licence number.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you\u2019ve lost your driving licence? How can you get your driving licence number if you\u2019ve lost it?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How To Find Out Your Driving Licence Number If You Cannot Find Your Driving Licence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/contact-the-dvla\"><strong>Contact the DVLA directly<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>They can send all the information you need to whichever address your licence is registered to.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk\/driving-record\/personal-details\"><strong>Use the Government\u2019s Driving Record Site<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>If you supply a few personal details, such as your National Insurance Number, your name, and your address, you should be able to access key details about your driving record. This can include your driving licence number. Can\u2019t find your National Insurance Number? Just check your last payslip!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look for any other DVLA documents. <\/strong>Your driving licence number may also be featured on any communications the DVLA has previously sent you, either by email or post, such as car tax reminders. You could also check your <a href=\"https:\/\/gogirl.co.uk\/\">car insurance<\/a> documents, as you may have shared your driving licence number with your insurer when taking out a policy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Lost Your Licence? Make Sure You Report It<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you cannot find your driving licence number because you\u2019ve lost your driving licence, then you should report the lost licence to the DVLA immediately. You will then need to apply for a new licence. Here\u2019s a guide on the DVLA\u2019s site to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/replace-a-driving-licence\">what you should do if your driving licence is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We also have a guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/gogirl.co.uk\/news-and-advice\/what-to-do-lost-driving-licence\/\">what you should do if you cannot find your driving licence<\/a> \u2013 which includes advice on whether or not you can still drive while you\u2019re waiting for a new licence.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Making Life Easier For New Drivers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At Go Girl, we understand that things are not always easy for new drivers and young drivers. There are a lot of new rules to get your head around, and beyond this, you often have to pay more for car insurance than older and more experienced drivers.<\/p>\n<p>This is why we are committed to driving down the cost of cover for <a href=\"https:\/\/gogirl.co.uk\/news-and-advice\/category\/young-driver-insurance\/\">young drivers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gogirl.co.uk\/news-and-advice\/category\/new-driver-insurance\/\">new drivers<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/getquote.gogirl.co.uk\/\">Get in touch to get a free quote today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p>Blogs are for general information only and do not form part of any contract or should not be relied on in any way.
