Driving Licence Expiry/lifespan Shock!

  1. DOH! :confounded: I hadn't realised that the plastic licence has a fixed lifespan, like a passport!

    I thought I'd be waiting until 70 to look at licence renewal, but it expires when I'm 69. Expiry month/year is in long form on the front and as a 'stamp' on the back as Month/Year...

  2. Pretty easy to do online, costs £14. Do it direct on the official site, there are scammy sites out there that provide a 'service' but charge you extra.

  3. Good point to check it, being diabetic mine last for a shorter time, I will check it later, as I can’t remember when it expires/d.

    im fairly sure they remind me in good time
     
  4. Every 3 years for health restricted licences.
    It strikes me as strange that I can no longer drive a camper van ! One of the rules of a restricted licence.
     
  5. Or you can walk into a large Post Office (not all do this service), cough up £21.50 and they send it to you.

  6. They vary, I checked mine this morning and it expires in 2026.
