Check an endorsement code

Definitions and driving-record periods from the DVLA code table. A record period is not a disclosure deadline.

This reference covers selected Great Britain codes. For a Northern Ireland record, use nidirect / DVA.

What are you dealing with?

Points on your licence

Check the code and the provider’s questions. Keep a new endorsement separate from an existing-policy change.

Start with speeding points

Returning after a ban

Check licence and court conditions before planning road-use cover. A quote does not restore driving permission.

Check the return-to-driving steps

Unsure what to disclose

Record retention and spent-conviction rules are different. The exact insurance question matters.

Understand the separate checks

One question at a time

All 10 guides

Facts first. Questions next.

Keep your records privately, mark what still needs checking, then use the right provider or licensing route.

Build my preparation checklist

Separate the decisions

  1. What does the driving record say?
  2. Are the conditions for driving satisfied?
  3. What is the provider actually asking?
  4. When does the final policy take effect?

The checklist does not calculate a premium, spent date or acceptance score.
