Misconceptions

Misconception: The D1 form is only for new drivers. Many believe that the D1 form is exclusively for first-time applicants. In reality, it is also used for renewals, replacements, and exchanges of driving licenses.
Misconception: You don’t need to provide any identification. Some think they can submit the D1 form without any ID. However, providing valid identification documents is essential for processing the application.
Misconception: You can submit the form without completing all sections. Many assume that incomplete forms are acceptable. All relevant sections must be filled out; otherwise, the application may be returned.
Misconception: You can use any type of photograph. Some applicants think any photo will suffice. The D1 form requires a specific type of photograph that meets certain guidelines.
Misconception: The form can be filled out in any color ink. Many people believe they can use any ink color. The instructions clearly state that the form must be completed in black ink.
Misconception: You can apply for a driving license without a valid address. Some think that providing a temporary address is sufficient. A permanent address is necessary for the application to be valid.
Misconception: Medical conditions don’t need to be reported if they were disclosed previously. Some applicants believe they can skip reporting past medical conditions. Any new or existing conditions must be disclosed to ensure safety on the road.
Misconception: The D1 form is the only form needed for all driving license types. Many assume the D1 form covers all types of licenses. In fact, different forms, like the D2 for LGV or PCV licenses, are required for those specific applications.
