Vehicle & Driving Licences

Isle of Man Post Office took over vehicle licensing and registration and the issuing of driving licences in April 2005.

Isle of Man Post Office provides a dedicated Trade and Emergency only (for example, the production of documentation for the Police or Courts) counter service at Postal Headquarters, Spring Valley Industrial Estate, Douglas.

The counter is open Monday to Friday (except Bank Holidays) 9am to 5pm for emergency customers and 10am to 4pm for trade customers. Some licensing functions continue to be undertaken by the Department of Transport, at their offices at the Sea Terminal, Douglas.

Meanwhile our Island-wide network of post offices can also accept applications for vehicle and driver licensing.
