- 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.
