Attention drivers! 🚗 The DVLA has an important reminder for those who passed their driving test more than a decade ago. If your driving licence was last renewed 10 years ago, it’s time to take action!
Driving licences need to be renewed every 10 years, but don’t worry if you can’t remember when yours was last issued—DVLA will send you a reminder before your current licence expires. Renewing your licence online is easy and costs just £14. Plus, if you’re over 70 or have a medical short period licence, you won’t have to pay a fee!
Here’s a quick checklist to renew your driving licence:
– Be a resident of Great Britain
– Not be disqualified from driving
To renew, simply head to the official GOV.UK website where you can apply online using a MasterCard, Visa, Electron, or Delta debit/credit card. Your new licence should arrive within a week!
Changed your address recently? It’s crucial to update your records promptly to avoid potential issues and fines. The good news is that changing your address with DVLA is free and you can still drive while waiting for your updated licence.
Need to make a change to your name or title? In that case, you’ll need to apply by post or at a Post Office.
For all you motorists, staying on top of these renewals and updates is essential for maintaining a smooth driving experience. So, take a moment to check your licence details and renew if necessary! Stay safe on the roads! 🚦
