If you rarely drive, renewal is easy to miss. Put the expiry in your calendar before a rental or trip brings it to your attention.
What to have ready
Before you start
Full-licence renewal differs from learner, probationary, and international permits. Check renewal windows, expiry arrangements, and age-related medical requirements. Submission alone does not make an expired licence valid.
What to do, step by step
- Check the renewal guide against your expiry and age.
- Prepare the form and address evidence or check iAM Smart or renewal-password access.
- Submit and pay through the appropriate channel, checking the delivery address.
- Check the categories and validity on the renewed licence and update your reminder.
Costs, timing, and things to check
Fees and validity depend on circumstances; use the formal guidance and issued licence.
A long-expired licence can involve additional requirements rather than ordinary renewal.
Check requirements before expiry and confirm valid licensing before driving.
