Renew your HGV LGV PSV PCV Bus Coach or Minibus driving licence

Renew your driving licence online with DVLA if you have a valid UK passport.

There’s a different service if you want to renew your licence and you’re 70 or over.

Apply using your Government Gateway ID. If you don’t have one or need to re-register, you’ll get an ID as part of your application.

This page is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).

Start nowon driving licensing online

You can’t apply online if your name or title has changed or if you have a 5-year bus or lorry licence.

You must renew a photocard licence every 10 years - you’ll receive a reminder before your current licence ends.

What you need

To renew online, you need:

a valid UK passport
to be a resident of Great Britain - there’s a different service in Northern Ireland
to pay £14 by MasterCard, Visa, Electron, Maestro or Delta debit or credit card (there’s no fee if you’re over 70 or have a medical short period licence)
addresses of where you’ve lived over the last 3 years
your current driving licence (if you don’t have your licence you must say why in your application)
your National Insurance number (if you know it)
to not be disqualified from driving

Your driving licence should arrive within a week if you apply online.

You must send your old photocard licence to DVLA when you get your new licence. You’ll be told the address to use when you finish the application.

Your new licence will be valid from the date your application is approved, not from the expiry date of your current licence.

DVLA will send you a confirmation email once you’ve applied. You might be asked to take part in research by email, but you can opt out.
