• 17-47 (Must Attest before 48th Birthday)

If you’re under 18 years of age, you’ll need consent from a parent or guardian.

Please continue with your application and the consent forms will be sent to you later in the application process.

NATIONALITY
You must be a citizen of the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, holder of dual UK/other nationality or have been a Commonwealth citizen since birth (with ‘right to work’ immigration status). Employment restrictions may be imposed within the Specialisation. Non-British nationals applying for this Specialisation are required to certify that they have been advised of the employment limitations and the consequences of not naturalizing as a British citizen.

RESIDENCY
Whether or not you were born in the United Kingdom, you should have resided there for the 5 years immediately preceding your application, but candidates with a minimum of 3 years may be considered.

If you have resided abroad for a period due to work or study, you may still be eligible on a case by case basis. This will be established during the selection process. Please continue this registration and proceed to your full application.

The Nationality and Residency requirements are the foundation of obtaining the necessary security clearance. The nationalities of your spouse or partner, and parents, are also taken into account among other factors.

There will be further pre-employment checks and you will be expected to achieve the security clearance of Security Check (SC). 

Employment restrictions may be imposed in the future if you are unable to achieve an increased security clearance requirement for selected placements.  

No formal qualifications required.

You do not need any type of driving licence to apply for the role of Driver in the RAF but you will need a UK DVLA provisional driving licence before you start your training. 

You must not have any endorsements (penalty points) or a driving ban which would prevent you from holding an LGV licence if you are under the age of 21.

A maximum of 3 penalty points for Minor Traffic Offences (such as SP30) will be accepted for applicants over the age of 21. Any serious driving convictions (such as DR10 to DR30) are not acceptable due to the limitations on the type of employment you will undertake.
