When Did I pass my Driving licence

After many years I am about to get a car and I have been asked by the insurance company, as to when I passed my test. I believe it was in 1989, but how can I establish the exact date.

Thank you - Sputie xx

    Is that the date you passed or the date your new licence was issued.
    £2.00 Savers Club = £34.00 So Far

    + however may £2 coins I have saved in my Terramundi since 2000.

  • er, are you sure you should be on the road? :eek:
  • The date you passed is printed on your driving licence (on the back of the pink card). It also shows when your driving licence expires - a very scary date a long way in the future! (For me anyway!)

    If you have one of the photocard licences, it shows which date you passed. If you look on the paper bit of the licence under your name and address, it shows under the 'Provisional entitlement' section two dates - the 'From' box is when you passed your test and the 'Until' box is the date before your 70th birthday. If you still have the old style licence, then it didn't show the date, I'm afraid.
    Debt at highest: £6,290.72 (14.2.1999)

  • Thank you all for your help - There was a sticker over the back of the driving licence card which attached it to licence document, so it was hidden - I was right with the year 21-03-1989.

    Thank you so much again xx
