Government grant 7 month extension on photo card licences

Drivers with a photocard driving licence due to expire between 1 February and 31 August 2020 will be granted a 7 month extension from the date of expiry the DVLA has announced today (4 June 2020). This will help drivers to make necessary journeys without having to obtain a new photograph to renew their licence. Click here to read more about the extension.

PLEASE NOTE – At aged 70 the driver must still renew their entitlement to drive, then every 3 years if they wish to continue to hold a valid licence. This grant does not cover entitlement to drive, just extension to the 10 year period required for renewal of photo card driving licences.
