Apply for a U class licence

If you drive an ultra high powered vehicle (UHPV) you must hold a U class licence.

To apply for this licence, you'll need to pass the online U class licence course.

If you're employed at a motor vehicle related workplace like a dealership or workshop you may be exempt from a U class licence.

For more information about what an UHPV is, visit the My Licence website.
