How should I show my driving licence on a resume?

List your licence as the local authority requires: the category or class, the country or region that issued it and, where relevant, the expiry date. Put it in your personal details or a "Licences and Certifications" section near the top, because it is often the first thing driver employers check.

Example (fictional): "Driving licence: heavy vehicle category, issued [country/emirate], valid to [month year]"

Tips:

• Rules about licence categories differ by country, so describe yours exactly as written on the card.
• Include extra permits or cards you hold, such as a professional driver card or a dangerous goods certificate.
• Do not list a licence that has expired or that you are still applying for as if it is current.

ResumeBuilder.ae has an optional driving licence field in personal details, which keeps this information easy to find.
