Why kids love having their own kids driving licence

There’s something about grown-up stuff that really appeals to kids. Wallets, keys, ID cards—if it looks official, they want it. That’s exactly why our kids driving licence has been so popular. It’s the kind of thing that gives children a sense of ownership over their own little world. Whether they’ve got a battery-powered jeep, a trike, or just a good old scooter, our card makes it feel like the real deal.

It’s single sided, credit card sized, printed on biodegradable plastic, and comes with the child’s name, photo, date of birth and a licence number. The design mirrors a proper UK licence but with a clear message at the bottom—"The holder is licensed to drive all push, pedal and battery powered toy vehicles." It’s fun, light-hearted and still feels very grown-up.

What’s included on our kids driving licence

Every detail on our card is there for a reason. It starts with the child’s first name and surname, then their date of birth, and a licence number that’s automatically generated from their surname and birth date. That licence number gives it a realistic touch, which kids love.

There’s also a space for a photo, which brings the card to life. We keep the layout simple and clear, just like a real UK licence. It looks official enough to impress a child but it’s still light-hearted and playful.

A kids driving licence that’s more than just a toy

Yes, our card is for play, but it’s also something more. It helps kids understand rules and routines in a way that feels exciting. If your child enjoys role play or has a strong imagination, our kids driving licence becomes part of their games. They’ll use it to check into their toy petrol station or flash it before zooming off on their balance bike.

It also works well for teaching simple rules. It can be used to encourage children to wear helmets or follow road safety tips. It’s a playful way to reward good habits, and it’s more fun than a sticker chart. What makes it work is the mix of personal detail and realistic design. Because it has their name and photo, kids see it as something that belongs to them. It’s not just a random toy—it’s theirs.

Our kids driving licence looks real but is made for fun

We’ve kept the design simple and familiar. Our kids driving licence looks close to a real one, but there’s no way it could be confused with official ID. The message at the bottom makes it clear it’s for toy vehicles only. That’s important—especially if kids bring it out in public.

It’s not linked to any official scheme and doesn’t carry any legal weight, of course. It’s purely for fun and imagination. But the way it’s made, the care that goes into it, and the quality of the finish means it stands out from flimsy print-outs or DIY kits. It’s something that lasts. The aim is to give kids something they can carry and be proud of, without it needing to be part of a big set or system. It’s fun on its own, and it doesn’t need batteries, apps, or instructions.

The perfect gift idea: kids driving licence for birthdays and Christmas

If you're stuck for ideas for birthdays or stocking fillers, our kids driving licence is a winner. It’s personal, affordable and gets a big reaction. Parents tell us that their kids show it off to family members and take it everywhere for weeks. It can also be a nice keepsake to look back on—especially with the photo and date of birth on display.

There’s no age limit really. Most customers buy it for children between two and seven years old, but older ones love it just as much. It also works really well as a joke gift for adults too.
