Why won’t you accept my licence number?

Sometimes when purchasing a policy, you’ll be asked to provide your licence number. If you’re getting a message that states the information does not match or isn’t valid, you’ll need to follow these steps:

• Check your licence is UK registered (Northern Ireland and Isle of Man have a different format, and sadly, therefore, can’t be accepted)
• Check your first and last name are spelt correctly, and you haven’t used a nickname or different name on the form itself
• Check your date of birth is entered correctly
• Check that the licence number you’re giving belongs to the driver you’re insuring
• Check that you’re not accidentally entering a number instead of a letter, for example, “0” not “O”

Once you’ve checked all of these things, we’re pretty confident you won’t have any further issues.
