Your Certificate of Satisfactory Completion

When you complete your Initial Basic Training (IBT), your instructor will sign off the relevant section of your IBT logbook and issue you with a Certificate of Satisfactory Completion.

This document is proof that you have completed all the modules of your IBT course and achieved the standard needed to drive unaccompanied on a public road.

Keep your Certificate with you

You must keep your Certificate with your learner’s permit and carry it with you whenever you are riding as you may be asked to produce it by a member of An Garda Siochana.

You will also be asked to produce your Certificate by your driving tester on the day of your practical driving test.

Replacing your Certificate

Your Certificate is a valuable document and you should make a note of the serial number and date it was issued in case it gets lost or damaged.

If you do have to replace your Certificate:

  • Report the loss or destruction of your original Certificate to An Garda Siochana.
  • Sign a declaration(PDF), in the presence of a Garda, who will then sign and stamp your form.
  • Forward the completed declaration form, together with the fee (currently €10) to:

    ADI Unit
    Road Safety Authority
    Primrose Hill
    Ballina
    Co. Mayo

Cheques or postal orders should be made payable to The Road Safety Authority.

You will then be issued with a duplicate Certificate by the RSA.
