Driver Number – Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023
Since the 31st March 2025, the Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023 requires all customers to provide the driver numbers for each driver listed on a motor insurance policy. This legislation applies to all policies, and you will be required to provide the driver number for both the policyholder and any named drivers.
Key Information:
Driver Number Requirement: To comply with this legal requirement, KennCo will not be able to process new or existing policies without having received all of the driver numbers for your policy.
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.
