Licence and renewal changes

Driver renewal period: From October 27, 2025, drivers aged 55-69 must renew their licence every five years instead of ten.

Health condition reporting: You must report any health conditions that could affect your ability to drive. Failing to do so could result in a fine of up to £1,000 and possible prosecution.

Over-70s: A new rule takes effect on November 8, 2025, requiring drivers aged 70 and above to renew their licence every three years, down from five. 

Vehicle registration and electric vehicles 

Electric van weight: As of June 10, 2025, drivers can operate an electric or hydrogen van up to 4.25 tonnes on a category B licence, as long as it is zero-emission.

Restored and modified vehicles: New policies effective August 26, 2025, make it easier to register repaired, restored, and modified vehicles, including EV conversions, and like-for-like repairs no longer need to be reported to the DVLA.
