DVLA warns all drivers who passed their test before 2014

Drivers, please pay attention. Making a simple check now could prevent you from receiving a hefty £1,000 fine. Given the current state of the economy, you probably could spend that money better elsewhere.

Anyone who took their test prior to 2014 should take note of an important announcement published by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency) to avoid breaking the law.

Anyone who took their test prior to 2014 must make sure their driver’s licence hasn’t expired as it must be updated at least once every ten years in order for the photocard to accurately depict them.

Richard Evans, head of technical services at WeBuyAnyCar, reportedly stated to the Swindon Advertiser: “To drive anywhere lawfully, you must carry a valid driving licence with the most up-to-current and accurate data of your name, date of birth, and full address.

“It’s imperative that you update your licence if you are aware that it is about to expire or if your personal information has changed.

The DVLA warns that failing to hold a valid licence might result in a £1,000 fine and perhaps the seizure of your car.

When should my driver’s licence be renewed?

The ‘Due to Renew’ government campaign informs people that they need to renew their driver’s licence every ten years.

If you are over 70, this does, however, change every three years.

Where is the license’s expiration date located?

The dates of your license’s expiration are shown in section 4b on the front of the card.
How to have your licence renewed

The DVLA website is the most convenient place to renew your driver’s licence if you are between the ages of 29 and 69.

However, a survey conducted in 2021 revealed that just 35% of participants were aware that you could renew your driver’s licence online.

Online renewals cost £14 and are typically processed in five days.

You can also pay £17 for a postal renewal instead of the £21.50 required at a Post Office location.
