Residents will soon be able to renew driving licences online 

The new features will be available through the government website

From July, Isle of Man residents will be able to renew or apply for a duplicate driving licence online.

This change is just the first step in streamlining services through digitisation.

The new features will be available on the government website and existing users can log in using their current details, while first-time users will be able to access some services before registering their account.

Additional features, including the ability to apply for full driving licences and update personal details, will become available in the autumn.

Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood says the delivery of this project will bring 'huge improvements' for motorists, particularly in terms of convenience and time-saving.

She added: "It also marks an important milestone for Our Island Plan, which commits to digitalising services to ensure a more efficient use of public funds."

People are encouraged to prepare by registering for Online Services.

Driver and licensing services will continue to be available at branches of the Isle of Man Post Office and at the Vehicle Test Centre in Braddan during the project roll-out.
