If you want to drive a vehicle that falls under the C1 category in the UK, you will need to hold a valid C1 driving licence. To obtain this licence, you will need to go through a series of steps, including completing the necessary forms. In this guide, we will outline the different forms you will need for C1.
D2 Form: The first form you will need for your C1 licence is the D2 form. This form is the application for a provisional driving licence, which is necessary before you can start your training to drive a C1 vehicle. You can obtain a D2 form from the Post Office or order it online from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) website. You will need to fill out this form and send it to the DVLA along with a passport-style photo and your current driving licence. C1 Medical
D4 Form: The second form you will need for your C1 licence is the D4 form. This is the medical examination report form that you will need to complete to demonstrate that you are medically fit to drive a C1 vehicle. You will need to have a medical examination with a doctor who is listed on the DVLA’s register of medical practitioners. They will complete the D4 form and send it directly to the DVLA. You will need to pay for this medical examination, which can range in price depending on the doctor and the area you live in.
Practical Test Booking Form: Once you have completed your training and feel confident in your ability to drive a C1 vehicle, you will need to book your practical driving test. You can do this online through the DVSA’s website, but you will need to have your provisional licence number and your theory test pass certificate to complete the booking. The practical test booking form is used to confirm your booking and provide you with the test date and time.
Theory Test Certificate: Before you can take your practical driving test, you will need to pass the theory test. Once you have passed the theory test, you will be given a theory test pass certificate. This certificate is necessary to book your practical test, and you will need to bring it with you to the test centre on the day of your practical driving test.
C1 Provisional Licence: Once you have completed all the necessary forms, passed your medical examination, and completed your training, you will receive your C1 provisional licence. This licence will allow you to drive a C1 vehicle, but only when accompanied by a qualified driver who has held a full C1 driving licence for at least three years. To obtain a full C1 driving licence, you will need to pass your practical driving test.
