Caura syncs with the DVLA, so the information you need is always to hand. In the app you can see:
- Any speeding points or endorsements on your licence
- What you can and can't drive, handy if you're changing vehicles
- Any driving disqualifications
- Your licence details, held securely and encrypted
How do I add my driving licence?
It takes three steps.
1. Enter your driving licence number
It's the 16 letters and numbers in section 5 on the front of your licence.
2. Enter your postcode
Use the postcode exactly as it appears in section 8 on the front of your licence.
3. Enter your National Insurance number
You'll find it on your NI number card, a tax bill or a payslip. It's only used to check your identity with the DVLA. It's encrypted, stored securely and can't be seen by anyone at Caura.
Where do I find my licence in the app?
Head to the Account tab and tap Driving Licence. You'll see your licence details, what you can drive, any penalty points and any driving disqualifications.
