Do I need to renew my driving licence when I turn 70?

My driving licence was issued in November 2021 and is valid until November 2024. I turn 70 before the expiry date. Do I have to renew my licence when I turn 70?

Answered by Sarah Tooze

No you don't need to. The DVLA will send you a reminder 90 days before the expiry date next year and you can then apply for a renewal.
