Don't get stuck in reverse! How to snag a DVLA Share Code (without becoming a meme)
Let's face it, needing a DVLA share code can feel a bit like that moment you realise you've accidentally driven into a car park exit. You need to prove you're a licensed driver, but navigating the world of government websites can be trickier than a roundabout in rush hour.
Fear not, fellow motorist! This guide will have you sharing your driving glory (or lack thereof, no judgement) with the grace of a Formula One pit crew.
How To Get A Dvla Share Code |
Step 1: Gather your chariot's credentials (no, not the fluffy dice)
- Your trusty driving licence: This isn't the time to be channelling your inner James Bond and claiming you lost it in a high-speed chase with international jewel thieves (it happens to the best of us).
- National Insurance number: This number is like your driving licence's secret decoder ring – don't leave home without it!
- Postcode: You know, where your driving skills (and hopefully your car) reside.
Top Tip: If you're one of those people who memorises random movie quotes but forgets essential life admin, take a picture of these details on your phone. Just don't accidentally post it online thinking it's a cool racing trophy pic.

Step 2: Prepare to enter the portal (of government bureaucracy, but hey, at least there are no dragons)
Head over to the mystical land of [GOV.UK] – view or share your driving licence information.
Warning: This isn't a website filled with cat videos and questionable life hacks (although that would be amazing for the DVLA).
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.![]()
Step 3: Channel your inner codebreaker (it's easier than you think)
- Click the big, friendly "Start now" button.
- Enter your driving licence number, National Insurance number, and postcode like a pro.
- Take a deep breath and resist the urge to answer the "Are you a robot?" test with witty banter about self-driving cars.
Step 4: Behold! The magical share code (don't lose it like your dignity after a parallel parking fail)
You've reached the holy grail – the "Share your licence information" section. Click on it and then the oh-so-tempting "Generate a code" button.
Abracadabra! A glorious code appears, like a digital lottery ticket for responsible driving.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.![]()
Here's the catch: This code is like a snowflake – unique and beautiful, but also temporary. It disappears after 72 hours, so share it wisely (and don't accidentally use it to unlock your Netflix account).
Pro-tip: Write it down, take a screenshot, or shout it from the rooftops (although the last option might be a tad dramatic).
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.![]()
Congratulations! You've conquered the DVLA share code challenge
Now you can strut your stuff (metaphorically, please follow all traffic laws) and prove your driving finesse with the confidence of Lewis Hamilton.
Remember, sharing your DVLA code is like sharing your love for terrible driving puns – use it responsibly and you'll be cruising down the road to success (or at least a successful car rental).
