I wanted to know If I could apply for a provisional licence, I lived in the UK for almost 3 years and claimed asylum on the 19th December 2012, I am 17 years old and I wanted to know If I had a chance to apply for it and what documentation is needed.
Thanks

Any applicant for a UK provisional driver's license needs adequate proof of identity.
See https://www.gov.uk/id-for-driving-licence

And be aware this HO guidance states:

As an asylum applicant you are not entitled to apply to the DVLA for a UK driving licence and you should not send your application registration card (ARC) to the DVLA to obtain a driving licence. Additionally, access to or ownership of a vehicle may affect your asylum support application or ongoing support payments
