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.
— DVLA spokespeople on X (the agency's social media post encouraging over-70 drivers to renew for free on GOV.UK)

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: hexham-courant.co.uk

Drivers aged 70 or older are required to renew their licences every three years.

Online renewal costs £14 and is available only to Great Britain residents without driving bans.

Changes in name or title since the current licence was issued disqualify applicants from online renewal.

Vehicle modifications such as lowered suspension, large spoilers, or tinted windows can lead to fines up to £5,060 and nine penalty points.

If your name or title has changed since you got your current driving licence, you cannot renew it online.
