You should have also filed a D9 form with DVLA to register your foreign licence with them.
AFAIK that only applies if the OP drives buses or goods vehicles.

You should have also filed a D9 form with DVLA to register your foreign licence with them. You can view the details of a foreign licence (points, disq., etc) by making a subject access request to DVLA.

thanks very much for all answers
I took the course in Feb 2023 and paid for it
I'm taking a new one in June 2025 for the April overspeed and I've paid for it
I'm intrigued what will happen with May 2025 overspeed
Never been to court and I dont want to go.
thanks all
Well have you named yourself as the driver?

hello
I'm a EU driver living in London and driving since 2020
I drove too fast 25mph and camera caught me, it was not unsafe but caught me.
I did one course in 2023 and now recently it happened twice
As my driving license is foreign I cannot check points lost via DVLA
How can I check the "ghost driving account" I've seen in the internet they take notes of offences
I need the car for my business so I need to drive
I will attend one online course in June but have a second letter for the second offence and Im scared
how can I check how many points I have left ?
thanks in advance
Elena
DVLA hold the ghost licence details if you have been awarded points. You can't use the on line licence check for a foreign licence so you need to contact DVLA.

If you had any points you would know about it. If you've been caught again then once you return the driver nomination (which you must do) the police are likely to offer you a fixed penalty, at which point you'll have the option of accepting 3 points, or pleading not guilty and going to court (but in the absence of a defence there's no point as the court will likely convict you and give you the points anyway).
Unless you're convicted in your absence you would know about any points you have, they don't just magically appear without you knowing about it. This would only happen if for some reason you missed all the paperwork and the case went to court without you knowing about it, but as you seem to have received the paperwork this seems unlikely.

If you’ve only ever done a course, not accepted a fixed penalty, and never had court paperwork, you’re likely to have zero points.

hello thanks for your answer.
I did accept in 2023 and took a course
I accepted in April 2025 and do the course in June 2025
I got another one in May 2025, same area, 25mph on a Sunday morning...how can I check the points ? I checked in the EU portal and none taken but I heard the UK MET police manages another file.Thanks for your help in advance, Elena
-
Well, have you accepted any fixed penalty notices for either of those incidents? Have you received anything from a court about them?
