This will enable you to share your driving record with a third party, such as a car hire company or insurance broker. The unique check code will allow someone to see what vehicles you can drive, any penalty points or disqualifications, your name and the last 8 characters of your driving licence number. This licence check code can be created through the link below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/view-driving-licence\">https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/view-driving-licence<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To create the licence check code you need to have the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>your driving licence number<\/li>\n<li>your National Insurance number<\/li>\n<li>the postcode on your driving licence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Due to this access code only being valid for 72 hours, you will need to be super organised before you leave for your travels! Make sure you go on-line to &#8220;Share my Driving Licence&#8221; and get your access code no more than 2 days before you pick up the car.<\/p>\n<p><iframe

(NINo).<br \/>\nIf the client doesn&#8217;t know its NINo , then he will not be able access and share his records with the rental company, therefore he wont be able to hire a car in the UK.<br
