This is the entry point into the Irish graduated driver-licensing system: a driver theory test pass is a hard prerequisite, and the resulting learner permit must be held for at least six months (plus Essential/Initial Basic Training) before a driving test can be sat. Two application channels exist — online at ndls.ie (using a Public Services Card and a verified MyGovID account, no paper form) and in person at an NDLS centre by appointment, using the paper Application Form for a Learner Permit (D201). This document is derived field-by-field from the D201 form, which is a single, multi-purpose instrument also used for learner-permit renewal, category add/remove, replacement (lost/stolen/damaged), personal-detail changes, and category upgrade for existing full-licence holders — this schema is deliberately scoped to the 'First time learner permit application' pathway (the form's own option 1) in full field and document depth; the other six application-type values are modelled only as a closed enum, not fully scoped (mirroring the precedent set by ph/lto/drivers-license-application and kr/koroad/driving-licence-application for other multi-transaction-type forms in this registry). It complements the existing ie/dttas/driving-licence-renewal document (which itself explicitly excludes a first-time application) and does not model the licence category upgrade after passing a driving test (the D401 'Application Form for a Driving Licence', a distinct sibling form). It does not submit the application; the live ndls.ie/rsa.ie sources are always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md).", "status": "draft", "jurisdiction": { "country": "IE", "level": "national" }, "authority": { "name": "Road Safety Authority, National Driver Licence Service", "abbreviation": "NDLS", "url": "https://www.ndls.ie/" }, "process": { "type": "application", "language": "en-IE" }, "source": { "url": "https://www.ndls.ie/images/Documents/LearnerPermits/D201_Learner_Permit_app_form.pdf", "retrievedAt": "2026-07-07", "documentRef": "Application Form for a Learner Permit D201 (March 2020 edition)" }, "verification": { "method": "manual-source-review-v1", "lastVerifiedAt": "2026-07-07", "verifiedBy": "GovSchema Engineering (Standards Engineer)", "nextReviewBy": "2027-01-07", "notes": "Source-derived reference schema authored field-by-field from NDLS's own Application Form for a Learner Permit (D201, March 2020 edition), a genuine (non-scanned) text-layer PDF extracted directly via pdfjs-dist getTextContent() — no login/CAPTCHA/WAF on the underlying file, though ndls.ie itself returns HTTP 403 to direct automated fetches (reconfirmed this cycle), so both D201 and its D401 sibling were retrieved via Wayback Machine snapshots, the same access pattern already established for ie/dttas/driving-licence-renewal and gov-au-wayback-workaround. Cross-checked ndls.ie's own current 'Forms' listing page (retrieved via a 2025-11-15 Wayback snapshot) to confirm D201 remains the live, current form (no newer edition superseding March 2020 was found). The channel structure (online vs in-person), current fee (EUR 45.00, increased from EUR 35.00 on 2025-01-01), and several conditional document triggers were instead cross-checked against the RSA's own current 'Apply for your first permit' page (retrieved via a 2025-11-12 Wayback snapshot), since the 2020-dated D201 form predates that fee increase and does not itself state a fee amount (its own checklist page only says 'see page 2 of guidance notes', a document not independently retrieved this cycle).
