- Source: List of UK driving licence endorsements
UK driving licences may be endorsed by order of the courts if the driver has been convicted of an offence concerned with driving or operating a vehicle. An endorsement may also be accompanied by a number of points which can remain on the licence for up to 11 years. If the total number of points on a licence equals or exceeds 12, the courts must ban the driver for a period of time, usually six months. New drivers (those who passed their first driving test within the past two years) are subject to a lower threshold of six points, which when reached results in the full licence being revoked; the driver is not banned but must restart the provisional licence process from scratch.
The list below does not apply to Northern Ireland; see the website below. However, 'Mutual Recognition' (MR) codes have been included, as these are added to the driving record if one is disqualified whilst driving in Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, or the Republic of Ireland. The disqualification period will also be valid in GB and will stay on the record for 4 years from the date of conviction.
Inchoate offences
Where a licence is endorsed for an inchoate offence, the endorsement code has the same letters and first digit as above, but with the final digit replaced by:
2, for aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring an offence
4, for causing or permitting an offence
6, for inciting an offence
