Effective 31st March 2025, the Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023 will require all customers to provide the driver licence numbers for each driver listed on a motor insurance policy. This new legislation applies to all new and existing policies, and you will be required to provide the driver licence number for both the policyholder and any named drivers.
Key Information:
Driver Number Requirement: To comply with this new legal requirement, starting from 31st March 2025 KennCo will not be able to process new or existing policies without having received all of the driver numbers for your policy. In order to prepare for this we are asking you to provide the driver numbers in advance of this date.
What is a Driver Number, and Where Can You Find It?
The driver number is a unique, nine-digit identifier on your driving licence that tracks your driving history. If you have an Irish plastic driving licence, you’ll find it in section 4d on the front of your card. For those still using a paper driving licence, it’s located in field 5. The important thing to note is that your driver number stays the same, even if you renew or replace your licence.
