The Provisional Driving Licence (PDL) is a licence that will allow learner motorists to take practical driving or riding lessons during the course of their training to obtain a valid Singapore Driving Licence1, after the learner motorist passes the Basic Theory Test. It is an offence to take these practical lessons without a valid PDL.
Do note that the valid PDL is a digital-issued licence, is valid for 2 years, and that all driving instructors are able to verify them online
