NDLS HID BEHIND YOUR WEB ADDRESS DISGRACEFUL

Recently applied for IRISH drivers license and what a smooth process. Clare in Wicklow town was amazing!

Absolute shambles of an organisation , disgraceful service, unfit for purpose, should be thrown out entirely and rebuilt from the ground up. RSA leadership should be fired.

I lived abroad for a long time and Decided to move home to Ireland to settle down and needed to get my full license sorted. Little did I know that this would be, by far, the most annoying and difficult thing about getting settled.

Customer service non existent, website portal barely ever works, I was 5 months on a waiting list, failed which I’ll take the hit for but could definitely argue that the reason given was a little absurd, and 3 months wait for a resit. Thank god I passed the 2nd time and never have to deal with this organisation again.

There are no employment options without a car where I live, as is the case for many Irish people, and during this time I would have been bled of tens of thousands of euros in lost wages as I could not drive to a place of work.. legally. The stress of having to take the chance every day is one that people should not literally have to make, .. for months and months on end.

This stupid, inept, and wholly unfit for purpose organisation nearly drove me abroad again. Outrageous charlatans. How do people put up with this?

I have spent an hour on the website trying to book a motorcycle test. Utterly hopeless and I have given up trying. Apparently it is 'simple and easy' to do this online. It is not.

Terrible service, just renewed my license for a automatic car back in may as I have a medical condition they said I could only have a one year license but on the day had charged for a 10 year license to make matters worse they have failed to put the code on the license for automatic only. I was just informed by Customer service that it is not the fault of the person at the counter processing the application, so I have to expect to be Overcharged every year and in regards to the diving license itself I was told to send it back but not to drive till I get a new one. This is the second year running this has happened. Of note it took 2 months last year to get it sorted. Only in Ireland. Disgraceful

I called 3 times and kept on being hanged up on and l find it really disrespectful. I had to call 3 times again and again. This seems unfair to call for more than an 1hr. The worst experience ever. I am surely disappointed

Horrific customer service. The rudest man called Chris on the phone just hung up on me.
I was trying to explain I was overcharged and his tone was horrible towards me.

I after having had my invitation to book a test pushed back several times, pushed back to 38 weeks!! The website is unhelpful and there is seemingly no way around them continualy pushing this back even further, I can not call someone to reason with nor can I get an emergency test without commiting fraud (which I will not be doing). There are jobs I cannot obtain to further my career because of this
This place is a joke

Absolutely disgraced, I was laughed at by the instructor who failed me for driving too slow. I never went under 30mph and or over 50. Max speed limit of test was 50mph. My motor has traffic sign recognition so I'm 100% aware of the the speed limit. Its also a 3.3 tonne truck and automatic which needs more breaking distance. I feel this is a money grab and completely unprofessional, marked unfairly and treated unfairly.

Each time I called to enquire about the considerable time it was taking to issue driving-license renewal (which I had already paid for) always spoke to a different person, each time giving me conflicting information. Finally received an email advising I needed to send medical report through the post within 10 days. Three days later received email to say renewal request had been rejected as paperwork hadn't been received in time! Speechless!!!

RSA has cancelled the driving test now 3 times in less than one month since December 2022 at Mulhuddart Test Centre. They have shown nothing but contempt for people by canceling tests within 5 minutes and all without an apology. Weather used today even though roads are clear. Private companies are driving on the roads testing drivers.RSA need to shut down the service during the winter months to avoid any risk to their staff. In meantime, outsource all services to a private company. Fed up seeing my hard earned taxes going to services without any accountability. . RSA are not up to the job. Please get rid of them and let competent people run the show. In the name of road safety, serious intervention is required. Learner drivers cannot get tested. Shut them down immediately. Get rid of them, please, for all our sakes.

I have twice paid €35 to renew my license, sent all the documents required 4 times and they’ve sent me the same email Everytime saying my proof of address is not original when it clearly was on all 4 occasions. I have been trying to renew since early September, it’s now late December. 2 Separate applications, the same result.

For them to say documents is not original, there must be robots in that office making stupid decisions. Absolutely ridiculous.

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. I was on the waiting list to do my test for 11 weeks before I got an email to pick a slot. After 11 weeks of waiting I FINALLY get to book on for a test 3.5 weeks later. Now today, less than 24 hours before my test, the RSA cancelled it. I get an email to book back on and there is no availability at all, I have been put back onto the original waiting list (that I was on for 11 weeks previously). I have never been so ready to take a test and so incredibly frustrated in my life.

I don't have any words to describe this service but horrible, disgusting.... I send my uk license on July 9 to exchange and till today November 1st I still did not get my license. After more then 10 call multiple emails and complains, all I got we working on it, you will get it next week, there is a problem back to all is ok and that are all lies. I depend on my license is a comercial a d I am loosing work since I can't leave the country to drive where I need to. I don't know how this people can sleep at night.
Updat! Today November 2nd 2022 I called again and was told this time that there supose to be a second license wich was issued to me in the UK and unless I provide this license I would not get the Irish. I explained that I never had a second UK license at wich point I was instructed to file a police report that the license was lost or stolen. I advised that this would be a lie and I can not do and was told that this was the only way to get my Irish license. So the driver license office instructed me to commit fraud by filing a wrong police report to obtain my license. I have proof of all of this since I recorded all the calls with this office.

Update! Today November 16 I received my driver's license. I did not submit any other documents nore did I filed the false police report as I was instructed. So this makes my wonder even more why I had to wait more than 4 months. This all shows how incompetent and corup this people are. Good luck to anyone who have to deal with them.

I don't have any problem with the RSA nor any of its branches. They have actually been pretty helpful through the ordeal I'm going through. But they need to change the way driving licences are given to people.

I passed my test this summer but the celebrations were cut short pretty quickly because... here comes An Post. Licences are send by standard mail and, oh God, AP loves losing those important documents sent that way. I am now about to apply for the third time in almost 2 months. With my insurance coming up in a couple of weeks, saying I'm p..... off is quite an understatement.

AP cannot be trusted even if it's registered (they've lost a few of those too on me). At this point, I think licences should be made available for collection at NDLS centres, no third party involved. If someone still wants to rely on AP, then send it with tracking number at the driver's expense (and cross your fingers it will make it).

Whatever is the solution, please, stop using standard mail!!!

Why is the govt? systems are so disgusting, slow and pathetic. I have been on the NDLS website to renew my license since morning and the disgusting service doesn't work there is no Pay option and gets a 508 error. Everything just feels so slow and pathetic.

Terrible customer service. The guy was so rude and didn't even bother to find a solution to my query. Don't know how an inconsiderate person like this guy is there as a customer service.

Great experience in NDLS, Parkway S.C., Limerick today. Just one guy behind the counter and he couldn't have been more helpful. Fast and efficient. Thank you!

Why do the regional offices not speak with the central office. Surely in this technologically abundant era we should be able to expect that producing an original document in a regional office is the equivalent to producing it in the central office? What kind of backward decision-making is happening at the NDLS. This organisation is an embarrassment as a representative of the governments efforts to serve the Irish people. Get your heads out of the 19th century and get your act together. It doesn't take a huge amount of effort to provide a good service. So take the finger out and provide a good service, and stop the frustrating bureaucratic crap that you're currently pedaling, please - for the mental welfare of both staff and customers alike.
