REMINDER :

The learner permit rule changes effective from 1 November 2026 https://www.rsa.ie/services/learner-drivers/learner-permit/multiple-learner-permits require that any learner who has held 4 or more years of learner permits must have undergone a driving test within the previous two years before they can take out a further learner permit in the category. If that is not the case, the learner must start from the beginning again by taking out a 1st learner permit, passing the relevant theory test and undergoing the necessary training as a 1st learner permit holder (EDT or IBT as applicable). Any learner who has held a learner permit for 7 years or more, irrespective of whether they have undergone a test in the previous two years, must also commence the learning to drive process as outlined above.



All holders of a 3rd or subsequent learner permit have been contacted earlier this year to inform them of this, and the RSA will continue to communicate this to the public.



Where a learner permit holder is undergoing or wishes to undergo IBT with you, please note the requirements above. In particular if the person is in their 4th year of learner permits, from 1 November 2026, when next renewing, unless they have undergone a driving test within the previous 2 years before the end of the 4th year (typically by the end of their 2nd learner permit), they will revert to having to start on a 1st learner permit again and undergo the full IBT, irrespective of having done any IBT already, and irrespective of when they have completed any IBT.



Accordingly when planning IBT, it is advisable to assess whether a learner referred to above can comply with the requirements in advance of the learner permit expiry after 1st November 2026.



If a learner is eligible to access a higher category motorcycle licence by progressive access, they may do so as normal, by using an in-date IBT Cert.





Kind regards
