How to verify a driving instructor

There is no public downloadable register of individual ADIs. Verification is done through official DVSA channels:

Ask the instructor for their ADI registration number and check their badge is displayed on the windscreen during lessons — green badge = fully qualified ADI.
The official GOV.UK service Find driving schools and lessons lists instructors you can book with.
Report concerns about an instructor to DVSA (official complaints process on GOV.UK).

No listings here by design: individual instructor data cannot be verified from a public bulk source, so this site deliberately publishes aggregate statistics only.
