Drivers aged 70 and over must renew their licences every three years instead of the usual 10-year cycle; no retest is required at 70, but a health declaration is.

Online renewal is available to people who will turn 70 within the next 90 days and usually takes about seven days, according to Devon Live; the DVLA automatically sends them D46P forms.

People without a D46P form can obtain a D1 application form from most Post Offices, and the new licence should arrive within three weeks unless further checks are needed.

Renewal is free regardless of the application method, and applicants may continue driving while it is processed if they meet seven requirements, including medical support, a valid previous licence and driving only under its previous conditions.

Do it for free!...It’s easy, quick and secure on GOV.UK.

Drivers over 70 need to renew their licences every three years rather than every ten years.

The DVLA sends reminders before the 70th birthday and prior to each renewal thereafter.

A health declaration is required before issuing a new licence, with possible driving ability assessments.

Renewals can be completed online or by mail, typically taking about one week without any fees.

Make sure you go through the official DVLA website if you’re renewing online, as some unofficial websites will try to charge you to renew your licence.
