Go and get an international driver's license instead

Donracy:
@Mimilyrics @duchess @Skymoore @Justwise and all with relevant knowledge.

Is it true that if you have a valid Nigeria Drivers license it will help you to get UK drivers license by shortening the driving courses you are supposed to go for?

If Yes, my Nigeria drivers license have three names on it while my other documents have 4 names. Please will this be a problem if present it as a proof of driving experience?

My drivers license just expired and I want to renew it. But your responses would be the determining factor

Waiting for your prompt responses

Thanks

I don’t think you need to renew your Naija licence to get an international licence.

Donracy:
So I need to get International drivers license in Nigeria after renewing my license in order to be able to drive in the UK with the License?

I think the best option is just to leave it. I just called an FRSC officer here in Lagos and I was informed that I would be getting the original drivers license after 5-6 weeks due to Covid if I renew tomorrow.

Considering the time constraints plus applying for International drivers license it may be too late for me to get it.

mimilyrics:
The one-year entitlement to drive in the UK on licences from other countries expires exactly one year after you start living in the UK.

Possibly that could be the reason.

So no cause for alarm.

The most important thing is that you are TB negative
Go ahead with your application if your bank statement is up to the 28-30 days count and other documents are ready.

Thewizardof0zil:
No, but I play football and suffered broken ribs two weeks ago. I wonder if that could be it?

When submitting documents, my birthday certificate has "Bello Mohammed" while my other current documents has "Bello Muhammad". Would this be a problem?

In that case, you can start practicing for the UK theory test from Nigeria, get your provisional as soon as you get here, write your theory test and take your driving test after you feel confident that you can ace it.

So do you have any knowledge about the requirements and where to process it at?

How much etc

Why do you guys always wait till something important comes up before you make certain changes?

It appears you are really focussed on this UK driving waka. Let’s assume you even get the international license which allows you to drive in the UK for 1 year, have you considered the car you will be driving? Do you already have a car? Or you want to buy a car as sooN as you get there? Or maybe you have a friend or relation who is already there and who is happy to put you as an additional driver of their Car? Is immediate driving in the UK really necessary for you? Maybe you need to cool down a little and think carefully about car things...

It's still not a bad idea but Uber is not for Tier 4 students.

Had the same issue with my school certificate, I spoke to a lawyer about it and he told me to do Notary Public(newspaper publication plus affidavit), and that’s what I did.

@mimilyrics I sent you an email please.sorry for invading your privacy.

arhyur:

Thanks.. my hubby has been worried that we used the wrong date.. I can confirm it to him now.

Hello Donracy,

@mimilyrics already responded but let me ask you. have you driven a RHD(Right Hand Drive) in the UK before?.

I'll give you my own advice based on experience.Even if you get an international driver's license,if you don't know how to drive a RHD or have never driven in the UK and don't know the road signs, speed limit or even how to use a SatNav trust me you will have so much fine to pay the international license will be as good as useless.

If you break the rules and get points on your license,your insurance will be way too high, plus you can have a 6points penalty and have your international license revoked if you aren't careful.

Advice: When you get into the UK, apply for provisional license,get your lessons done( target block lessons), pass your theory and practical test.

Do them from the scratch and save yourself the stress. The only difference is that you don't need the learn somethings that learners without experience do like parts of a car etc. But driving in the UK is as good as learning from the beginning.

Cheers

Donracy:
Are you saying that the international drivers license expires after one year?

Help oh.. I just made a mistake..I forgot to upload the OANDA conversion page and I have already submitted all the documents.. what do I do now? I'm so tired..been on this thing since 10pm last night..I am exhausted!

Hello,

You don't need the Oanda Conversion Page.UKVI knows the reference date from your date of application

Don't beat yourself too much

Cheers
