How to Include a Driving Licence on Your CV in Ireland

Introduction

In Ireland, many roles — from delivery drivers to construction workers — require a valid driving licence. But where should you put it on your CV, and how should you format it? In this guide, we’ll explain exactly how to include your driving licence on a CV in Ireland, with clear examples you can copy.

Where to List Your Driving Licence on a CV

The most common places to include your driving licence are:

• Contact Information Section – add it under your phone/email for quick visibility.
• Certifications Section – if driving is central to the role (e.g. courier, bus driver).
• CV Summary – if a “full clean licence” is a requirement for the job.

How to Format Driving Licence on a CV

Keep it simple and professional. Employers don’t need your licence number — just the type and whether it’s clean.

👉 Examples:

• Full Clean Driving Licence (B)
• Full Irish Driving Licence (C1, D)
• Provisional Irish Driving Licence (B)

When to Leave Out Your Driving Licence

Not every job requires one. For office-based or remote roles, it’s unnecessary. Save space for skills and experience instead.

Conclusion

Your driving licence is a key requirement for many roles in Ireland — especially in transport, delivery, and construction. Make it easy for employers to see by listing it clearly in your CV.
